Lonely Planet review

Samuel Hermann, a Jewish merchant who married a Catholic, introduced the American-style Federal design to the Quarter in 1831. Hermann sold the house in 1844 to Judge Grima, a slaveholder, after he reportedly lost around US$2 million during the national financial panic of 1837. Cooking demonstrations in the authentic open-hearth kitchen are a special treat on Thursday from October to May.
