Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights Information

Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights began in the French Quarter in 1945 when Andrew Bevolo, Sr. revolutionized the production of gas lamps. Andrew Bevolo, Sr. honed his metalworking skills while working for historic manufacturing companies including Ford, Sikorsky and Higgins. His master craftsmanship and artistic style were the perfect complement when paired with the talents of renowned Architect, A. Hays Town. Together, utilizing a hand riveting technique rather than brittle soldered joints, they created what would eventually become known as the original French Quarter Lamp. Try taking a step through the French Quarter without catching a glimpse of this iconic copper lamp, and you will find it simply cannot be done. Fast forward over six decades later, and you will see that this innovative company is still going strong, and still producing each and every piece locally by hand. People trust Bevolo's quality and the proof shines bright through the French Quarter and beyond. Bevolo lanterns grace not only New Orleans Historic Landmarks, such as The Cabildo, Jackson Square and Brennan’s Restaurant, they have also been sold to customers in all 50 states and over 50 countries. The Bevolo family business has continued to branch out and evolve. Where would one be without the other? A true original creation of the French Quarter, Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights has embraced the romantic and artistic flair making this destination like no other. "The French Quarter lantern is a trademark of New Orleans," says Bevolo. "This company was born and bred here, using local artists and craftspeople." Fueled by a truly unique city, the flickering of the French Quarter lantern casts a romantic glow on a true and lasting art form, thanks to the Bevolo family.
