About this title

Synopsis

"New Orleans is one of America's richest architectural possessions ... these architecture books lay a solid foundation in the field, are a gift to general historians, and, as the authors hoped, have contributed immeasurably to the maintenance of extant architectural treasures.

Focuses on the Bayou Road, which was lined with the country seats and residences of some of the city's earliest settlers.
