Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

Yellow to blue. Exquisite 4-story masonry commercial building which was constructed after the fire of 1908 to blend in with the existing scale of the Vieux Carre. Constructed as a commercial outlet, it has relief sculpture that blends the Art Deco and German Expressionism movements.

"Do they wear fig leaves? Only the pigeons know! But, these three nude figures add an intriguing medieval note to the façade of a 20th Century building located in the 500 block of Bienville."
