Built in 1799 and located on historic Bayou St. John, Pitot House is the only Creole colonial country house that is open to the public in New Orleans.

The Pitot House and Gardens can accommodate a variety of events - weddings, receptions, dinners, cocktail parties, or any special occasion. The maximum capacity of the site is 250. The ground floor of the building alone, using the lower gallery spaces and indoor rooms, can accommodate up to 50 people depending on the type of event and the set-up. Seated capacity on the ground floor will vary. Viewing of the ground floor rooms is recommended to determine seated accommodation.

Pitot House is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
