No change: blue; courtyard addition -- brown. The Pedesclaux-Le Monnier House is one of the most important landmarks from New Orleans's Spanish Colonial period. Constructed soon after the fire of 1794, probably according to the designs of French architect Barthelemy Lafon, the building was completed in 1811 by the noted local architects Latour and Laclotte. Originally a 3-story entresol structure, this townhouse incorporates characteristics of 18th c. building traditions, such as bold stucco moldings, a horizontal emphasis balanced by strong pilaster treatment, curvilinear walls and a clear, ordered treatment of bays and openings. Although the upper level openings are original, the ground floor openings were altered first c. 1850 and then in the 20th century.
