Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

600-614 St. Peter. No change: orange. This stuccoed 2-story building, which now is part of Le Petit Theatre, is a 1962 reconstruction of a c. 1796 Spanish Colonial townhouse, which was constructed by architect Gilberto Guillemard for Joseph X. de Pontalba. Although restored in the 1920s by Koch and Armstrong, the Spanish Colonial building was razed. The new construction reused the fine original wrought iron railing made by the local craftsman, Marcellino Hernandez. 616 St. Peter. Change: orange to blue. This 2-story theater building with connecting loggia was constructed in 1922 by Armstrong and Koch for Le Petit Theatre. This effort represents one of the first serious attempts to design a modern building in a traditional French Quarter style. [N.B: The lakeside wing of the orange-rated new construction, in between blue-rated 616 St. Peter and the next lot, 620 St. Peter, should logically be designated as 618 St. Peter, but that address has never been used.]
