1816 Architecture in New Orleans - Historic Photo from 2023
Beautifully designed. Printed on archival paper for modern walls.
This vintage photograph, attributed to Frances Benjamin Johnston, captures an architectural gem in New Orleans, Louisiana. Constructed in 1816 by Francois Seignouret, a Bordeaux native and wine merchant, this building reflects the historical blend of cultures that define the area. The structure was later acquired in 1870 by Brulatour, also a wine merchant, and today it houses the Reed Art Gallery.
The image features notable elements such as balconies adorned with lush banana plants, intricate fanlights above doorways, and well-maintained gardens that enhance the buildings charm. The presence of plant containers and urns adds to the overall aesthetic, showcasing the vibrant landscape typical of New Orleans.
This photograph is part of the Carnegie Survey of the Architecture of the South, underscoring its significance in documenting American architectural heritage. It serves as a valuable resource for understanding the historical context of New Orleans and its architectural evolution.
