About The Association:
Located between St. Charles Avenue and the Mississippi River, Jackson Avenue and the Crescent City Connection, our historic Lower Garden District neighborhood features spectacular 19th century architecture amid beautiful greenspaces ~ Coliseum & Annunciation Squares ~ and oak-lined streets. Stroll along lower Magazine Street for eclectic shopping and dining, antiques and art galleries. Our location on the St. Charles streetcar line and proximity to the Arts District, Central Business District, Convention Center and French Quarter, makes the LGD an ideal destination for visitors; our diverse and neighborly residents make it a great place to call home.
At its inception in 1972, Coliseum Square Association spearheaded the revival of the newly-coined ‘Lower Garden District’ by leading the fight against a Mississippi River Bridge ramp through the heart of the neighborhood, and by achieving National Register historic designation. In the ensuing years, CSA has worked diligently with the city to institute zoning guidelines that protect historic buildings and ensure appropriate new construction, and has been instrumental in the revitalization of Coliseum Square and other greenspaces, including construction and ongoing maintenance of a favorite neighborhood gathering place ~ the fountain.
"When I look back at the formation of the Coliseum Square Association, I truly believe it is the only neighborhood group in the city that consciously set out, from the very beginning, to bring about change." - Martha Ann Samuel CSA co-founder
"There are no houses in the whole ‘Lower Garden District’ too dilapidated to reclaim. It seems an ideal spot for a revival to take place …" - Samuel Wilson, Jr., fall 1962 founding president, Louisiana Landmarks Society, and originator of the “Lower Garden District” neighborhood title.
All NOMAR agents are invited. No RSVP required.
