The Pontalba Buildings flank the Place d'Armes, the picturesque center of ancient New Orleans. The illustration shows one of them. They were built over a century ago by the Baroness de Pontalba. For many years they were the fashion- able ancestors of the modern apartment houses. Today they are New Orleans nearest approach to tenement houses. E. C. KROPP CO., MILWAUKEE 29573N Co
