The Lower Garden District, a National Register Historic District since 1972 and a locally designated historic district, bounded roughly by St. Charles Avenue on the north, Tchoupitoulas Street on the south, Calliope Street on the east and Josephine Street on the west. Recognized for its extensive collection of mid-19th-century residences, the Lower Garden District is centered on Coliseum Square, a leafy retreat that offers residents and visitors a venue for picnics, dog walks and other leisurely activities. The square and streets around it were laid out in 1809 by Barthelemy Lafon, a deputy city surveyor and Frenchman. One source credits Lafon's love of Greek mythology as the reason neighborhood streets are named for the nine muses.
