Excerpt from the New Orleans City Guide 1938: "The Grima House, 820 St. Louis Street. The Grima House possesses one of the most beautiful courtyards of the Old Square. Refreshments may be secured from the courtyard kitchen within. Little is known about the early history of the building, but it is believed to have been erected in the 1820's by Samuel Hermann, a wealthy commission merchant. In 1844 the property passed into the possession of Felix Grima. In 1921 it became the Christian Women's Exchange."

"The Christian Woman's Exchange (now The Woman's Exchange), a local non-profit organization, purchased the property in the 1920s and ran it as a boarding house for single women until 1975. It was restored and reopened as a museum in 1975, and The Woman's Exchange still owns and operates the building today. It was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974." (
