Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

Main -- green; rear additions -- brown : to : main -- blue; interior courtyard additions -- yellow; rear additions (St. Philip Street) -- brown. This address features a c. 1841 3-story brick building, which actually includes three commercial and residential units. Especially noteworthy is its grand Greek Revival entrance, which atypically is located in the second level of the Royal St. façade, opening onto the front gallery. The ornate cast iron galleries replace earlier cast iron balconies, as illustrated on an 1858 plan book drawing, and there are courtyard additions, which although constructed in the late 1930s dsiplay some noteworthy ornamental detailing.
