Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:
[Pink. 2-story, 4-bay commercial building, c. 1888. An 1889 photograph of Jefferson Davis’s funeral shows that the structure originally had square windows with lintels and a second-floor gallery. At some later point, the building's facade was altered to mirror the architectural style of the contiguous structure at 137 Royal Street, including arched windows and heavily decorated pediments. The gallery was also transformed into a balcony at some point after 1889.] [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.]
