Step outside and you're just steps from local cafĂ©s, wine bars, museums, and live musicâbut if you'd rather stay in, the vibe here makes it easy to say no to plans. This loft is your laid-back launchpad for slow mornings, easy nights, and everything in between.
1905 and served as the Bank of Lafayette. It's a historically significant building, notable for its Colonial Revival architecture with domed pavilion entrance and ornate details. The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984. It has been transformed into a wedding and event venue called "The Jefferson."
It's currently home to The Jefferson Event Venue & Ton's Restaurant downstairs... and 5 apartments upstairs, including the large corner Penthouse that overlooks the corner of Jefferson & Congress from it's dome. The apartments are a mix of short term rentals and permanent residents.
There is gated parking in the rear of the building, located on the corner of Buchanan St & Congress St. Each apartment is allotted 2 parking spots. Overflow parking is located in the open parking lot next to Ton's Restaurant. It can be found by putting 516 Jefferson St in the GPS.
You will be allotted 2 parking spots in the gated area for your vehicles. You will also have the entire apartment completely to yourself. There are some common areas - mainly the parking lot, stairs & hallway in between the apartments.
It's also located in the center of downtown Lafayette, LA over Ton's Restaurant & The Jefferson Event Venue. Nights can be noisy at times, especially on weekends. This is not the spot for light sleepers, but we do provide a sound machine & ear plugs. It's a great spot for guests of weddings & events downstairs.
