Book Synopsis
New Orleans was a melting pot of Spanish and French culture, in a climate that forced a uniquely American architecture. More than 260 images present the wide verandahs, hipped and gabled roofs, neo-classical sensibilities, and lavish iron lacework that give this region its unique architectural character. Enter almost tropical courtyards and pass through historic buildings to study mantels, doors, stairs, balconies, and more in detail. Beautiful imagery of historic properties, photographed in the 1930s, along with architectural drawings and molding profiles, enable restoration and recreation of these classic, Creole treasures.
