Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:
[Pink. 3-story commercial structure, before 1928. A c. 1928 photo from the monograph "Emile Weil Architect" shows the original look of the building on this lot, designed by Weil to house the Alamo Theatre. The unusual façade gave the appearance of having only two stories, with three arched windows at the second level, a projecting cornice along the roofline and a first-floor metal awning. In fact, though, it had the height of at least a 3-story building, the façade masking either extremely tall ceilings or an entresol level. At some point before 1964 the façade was covered with what appears to be enamel or marble tiling on its upper floors, which forms a decorative rectangular motif. It also has projecting signage on its second and third levels and shop windows along its ground floor.] [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.]
