Synopsis
Hurricane Katrina ravaged much of New Orleans in 2005, but thankfully the city's most treasured historic homes survived. Plantations & Historic Homes of New Orleans is a poignant tribute of these storied mansions, whose architectural beauty brings a unique flair to the Big Easy's most famous neighborhoods. From the French Quarter and Garden District to Uptown, Marigny, and Bayou St. John, many of New Orleans' grandest old homes and nearby plantations are featured in this book, showcasing the massive brick columns, intricate cast-iron balconies, wide verandas, sumptuous parlors, and humble servants quarters that give this area its charm. Open these pages and you'll travel to Destrehan, the oldest plantation house in the Mississippi Valley, originally built of hand-hewn bald cypress timber using briquette entre'pateaux, mud (clay, river sand, and Spanish moss) between post; the homes artist Edgar Degas and author William Faulkner lived in during their New Orleans' stays; and the 1850 House located in the Lower Pontalba building on Jackson Square. Learn about the building's namesake, a baroness with a tumultuous family life who managed to escape murder and was also responsible for building the American embassy in Paris.With lavish photographs of exteriors and rooms of special interest, gardens and curiosities, and detailed information about New Orleans' diverse architecture and history, this book is both a perfect guide for visitors and natives alike and an enchanting visual tour of one of the greatest cities in the United States., Hurricane Katrina ravaged much of New Orleans in 2005, but thankfully the city's most treasured historic homes survived.
