No change: main building -- green (raised from yellow in 1981); rear shed -- brown. This and its neighbor at 632 Esplanade comprise a pair of fine French Second Empire versions of the American side-hall plan townhouse, which although so popular in the late 19th century, is quickly disappearing from New Orleans' architectural scene. The first constructed of this pair was #634, built in 1885 by Middlemiss and Murray for Mary Zaeringer; the second at #632 was built in 1886 by G.A. Thiesen for Mrs. Ellen Begue.
