Synopsis"New Orleans is one of America's richest architectural possessions. . . . These architecture books lay a solid foundation in the field, are a great gift to general historians, and, as the authors hoped, have contributed immeasurably to the maintenance of extant architectural treasures." -The New Republic This volume of the acclaimed series focuses on the bustling area of New Orleans presently known as the Central Business District, from Howard Avenue to Iberville Street and the Mississippi River to Claiborne Avenue. According to the editors, the book is designed to serve as a handbook for modern-day renovation and restoration. The primary source for material in the volume was the New Orleans Notarial Archives, which contain thousands of architectural drawings and original specifications of many buildings included in the book. The 256-page volume features more than 500 photographs, including 22 original watercolor drawings in color. The New Orleans Architecture Series consists of Volume I: The Lower Garden District, Volume II: The American Sector, Volume III: The Cemeteries, Volume IV: The Creole Faubourgs, Volume V: The Esplanade Ridge, Volume VI: Faubourg Treme and the Bayou Road, Volume VII: Jefferson City, and Volume VIII: The University Section, all available from Pelican.
