One of Mobile's most beautiful historical landmarks, the Portier House served as the residence of the Bishop of Mobile from 1834 through the first decade of the 20th Century. Though the house still occasionally serves as a place for priests to vest before mass, it was named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1970 after standing largely unused for many years. The Portier House is open to visitors most days of the week and offers guided tours.
