Square: 66 Lot Number: 11347
[Orange. Multi-story, modern hotel/parking complex, 2002, William & Associates Architects. It replaced the two-story Woolworth’s built in the 1950s, which sat on three separate lots, 728-734 Iberville (Lot 11347), 736 Iberville (Lot 11348) 740 Iberville (Lot 11347-30).] [N.B: Squares in the 100 block of the French Quarter (those that front Canal Street and back on Iberville Street) are not part of the original Vieux Carré and have never been evaluated by the Vieux Carré Commission. Rather, their historical status is the domain of another city agency, the Historic District Landmarks Commission (HDLC). The c. 1965, color-coded architectural evaluation square maps for these squares found in the VCS binders were most likely executed by architect Sam Wilson, but they are obviously not official, as the HDLC was not even in existence then. The official color ratings given here have been taken from the HDLC’s current maps.]
