Abstract
B/W photo, 1930s. Written on photo: The famed equestrian monument of Andrew Jackson by Clark Mills in the New Orleans "Place d'Armes." Unveiled in 1856 in the heart of old New Orleans, this monument is the centerpiece of one of the most beautifully symmetrical architectural settings in the world. Funds for the monument were largely donated by the Baroness Pontalba, whose celebrated "first apartments" flank both sides of the square. The inscription in the base "the Union must and shall be preserved" was effaced during the Civil War and chiseled back permanently by the Federal occupant General Ben Butler. The St. Louis Cathedral faces the square with the cabildo and the Presbytere to the right and left. The other side is occupied by the Mississippi river. The square was laid out when New Orleans was founded by Bienville in 1718.

Date Issued

Abstract
Photography. "Antebellum Home in New Orleans Garden District" Photograph by Eugene Delcroix (probably 1930s) Most dignified, and probably most elaborate of the architectural traditions of New Orleans' golden age and Greek Revival Period of 1830-60 may be found in the Garden District of uptown New Orleans. Great is the contrast between this section and the French Quarter of "Old New Orleans". Here, the streets are wide and the homes are surrounded by spacious gardens. An interesting exterior characteristic of these homes is the extreme height of the doors and windows, which extend from the floor almost to the top of the high-ceilinged rooms. The interiors are in simple and good taste, yet stately, elegant and of monumental proportions.
