The Park View Historic Hotel stands prominently on the corner of Walnut Street and St. Charles Avenue. It was built between 1892-1896 as a guest house for visitors and families who came to New Orleans for an extended period of time. It is the last guest house built in New Orleans during the late 19th century to survive (there are other guest houses dating to this period but they were originally built as private residences). It was added to the National Register of Historic Places for its architecture and significance as the last original guest house in the city.
