Description

From the publisher: “The fourth volume of the acclaimed series captures in more than 400 photographs and text the distinctive architecture of the six creole faubourgs, or neighborhoods, of the up to date city of New Orleans. As in all books within the series, emphasis is placed on historic documentation, with a goal of preserving essential structures. Twelve distinct architectural types germane to the faubourgs are defined, identified, and analyzed. Also included is a chapter at the craftsmanship of the various free persons of color who contributed significantly to town’s architecture. Researched by The Friends of the Cabildo, probably the most nation’s leading preservation organizations, the oversize volume used to be compiled by Roulhac Toledano, Sally Evans, and Mary Louise Christovich, all of New Orleans. A history of the faubourgs by Samuel Wilson, Jr. is featured as well. The books photographs, both color and black and white, were the work of Betsy Swanson, photographer for the primary three volumes of the series.”
