Longue Vue House and Gardens is a historic museum with strong ties to the civic and cultural history of 20th-century New Orleans. Edgar Bloom Stern was a businessman from New Orleans, the son of German immigrants. Edith Rosenwald Stern was from Chicago, the daughter of renowned business guru and civic philanthropist Julius Rosenwald. The couple met in 1920, were engaged and married in 1921, and began developing the Longue Vue property on eight acres at the edge of New Orleans that same year. Here the Sterns raised their three children – Edgar Jr. (1922-2008), Audrey (1924-1974), and Philip (1926-1992); entertained celebrities and politicians from across the United States and the world; and pursued a range of civic and artistic causes. Edith and Edgar were intimately involved in the design of this unique estate, in collaboration with a creative team that included naturalist Caroline Dormon, architects William and Geoffrey Platt, and pioneering landscape architect Ellen Biddle Shipman.
