The Girod House residence is an interesting example of a brick Creole-style double townhouse with an unusual feature. The house has a central passageway in addition to two flanking entrances, both of which were added in a later alteration. The house was originally entered through this passageway, which leads to a courtyard similar to those in many French Quarter homes. The two doorways were once windows which opened on the traditional double parlors. An airy balcony with a lovely cast-iron railing graces the second level.

The house was built in 1833 as a double for Francois Girod by Charles Thompson, and is an unusual but welcome piece of architecture for this area. Today it serves as a New Orleans vacation condominium rental. Unlike most other Condominiums, The Girod House features only suites, six to be exact, each complete with living room, bedroom, kitchen, and private bath.
