Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

234 Bourbon. No change: blue. "Old Absinthe House," an excellent example of an entresol combined residential and commercial structure. Intact architectural details include ground floor fanlights, which also light the entresol, and a wrought iron balcony with its supporting consoles. Its nearly flat (originally tiled) roof is typical of its period of construction. 736 [732-740] Bienville. No change: orange. New construction (c. 1950), which is modeled after a two-story attached kitchen building with gallery. It is recessed from the street front.
