Front:
LACE WORK IN IRON. NEW ORLEANS, LA.
Back:
EMBROIDERED BALCONIES. Characteristic of the arch
itecture of New Orleans' Vieux Carre (French Quarter) is the
myriad patterns in wrought and cast iron, giving that section
its atmosphere of old France and Old Spain.
This old home, on the corner of St. Peters and Royal Streets,
was built about 1885 by Jean Baptiste Lafranche, a wealthy sugar
planter, and is an excellent specimen. The ironwork design is
entwined oak leaves and acorns.
