Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

[N.B: At the time that the chains of titles were abstracted for the VCS, the two distinct buildings at 636-638 N. Rampart and 640-642 N. Rampart belonged to the same lot (Lot 19008).] 636-638 N. Rampart. Brown : to : vacant. The brown-rated construction at this site, which replaced the historic detached service building and courtyard for the corner building previously here, burned in 1986. This address now is comprised of a vacant lot, with a short wall on N. Rampart. 640-642 N. Rampart. Yellow : to : pink. An 1862 Plan Book drawing shows the original appearance of this c. 1830, 2-story, masonry building. It had exposed red brick, a balcony on its St. Peter-side, a shed, a roof overhang on the N. Rampart-side, a rear loggia and a round-headed, dormer window with detailing characteristic of the Federal period. A recent fire destroyed the brown-rated construction that filled the historic courtyard and service area. It also severely damaged the Federal-style townhouse, which had its ground floor openings altered and its brick façade covered with stucco earlier in the 20th century.
