In 1835 Louis Pecquet purchased this site and likely replaced the existing Spanish Colonial buildings shortly thereafter with the present Greek Revival shop-residence.

During the late 1830s, the shop housed a dry goods store, then a milliner and a hatter during the 1850s. Zaeringer Bros. jewelers operated here for fifty years, and Four Seasons Pastry Shop for twenty-four years.

During the early 1900s, writer Mary Evelyn (Mollie) Moore Davis and her husband, Thomas E. Davis, New Orleans Picayune newspaper editor, lived in the second floor residence.

The building was restored in the 1990s by Gerald D. Katz, Charles D. Gibson, Lyle Dean Krumme II, and Joseph David Prejean.
