refnum=74000934The Pontalba Buildings form two sides of Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana.

These are matching red-brick block long 4‑story buildings built in the 1840s by the Baroness Micaela Almonester Pontalba. The ground floors house shops and restaurants; the upper floors are apartments that are the oldest continuously rented such apartments in the United States.

They were declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.citation|title=PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Text/74000934.pdf National Register of Historic Places Inventory-Nomination: Pontalba Buildings] |468 KB|date=January 11, 1974 |author=Paul Goeldner |publisher=National Park Service and PDFlink| [http://pdfhost.focus.nps.gov/docs/NHLS/Photos/74000934.pdf "Accompanying 8 photos, exterior, from 1968"] |733 KB]
