The beautiful Garden District. Famous for its plantation style houses. Its rich atmosphere. The beautiful landscape. Nothing compares to the culture and history, money and ambiance. I took photos to capture the very essence of the Garden District. To give a feel of what it really is like in this neighborhood. You can feel the history. See the beauty. And appreciate the value that has been put into these homes. Its extravagant. A person cannot know the true value of the neighborhood without stepping foot on the brick path that paves their streets.
This house was erected in 1872. The Bradish Johnson house was designed post-civil war to a prominent Louisiana sugar planter.
This beautiful home was originally built for Edward A. Davis in 1859. In 1965, it was donated to the Women's Guild of the New Orleans Opera Association.
These horse posts were located outside of many homes in the area. Perfect addition to the historic findings of the district.
This is the Gilmour-Parker House. Erected in 1853 for Thomas Corse Gilmour, an English cotton merchant
This beautiful mansion is for sale for 5.6 million dollars. Home of Colonel Robert Short of Kentucky. He was a commission merchant. Notice below the corn fence posts. This home was a living, breathing plantation.
This home is the home of Mayor Isaac W. Patton. Described in 1859 as a "handsome cottage residence."
