Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Lovers of Louisiana (to-Day) Until within a few years of the date here following, more Creoles lived elegantly in Esplanade Street (now Avenue) than on any other equal length of thoroughfare in New Orleans. In 1914, lengthened far out to Bayou Saint John, with its two separate roadways and a grassy tree-planted parkway between them, it still was socially best among the score of streets, once so short, of the old Franco-Spanish city. One of its most attractive dwellings, of brick under a rich brown stucco, was near Rampart Street. It may be gone now. It was of three stories, the first sixteen feet high, the second twelve. That was for coolness. A dozen yards back from the sidewalk, in courtly dignity, without a blemish of architectural parade, this fair home awaited its visitors´ approach through a gate of wrought-iron openwork in a wall eight feet high, also of brown stucco and covered, the year round, with climbing roses. Along the wall´s coping ran an iron balustrade patterned to match the gate. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
