Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

No change: blue except for courtyard infill (small, one-story building on St. Philip), which is rated brown. This is one of three contiguous Transitional style buildings which were designed and constructed between 1827 and 1833 as a unit for Honore Landreaux, who also built the row at 901-05 Chartres. Each of these important buildings contained a store on the ground floor, a parlor and dining room on the second floor and bedrooms on the third and attic floors. The kitchen building behind the corner unit was designed by Correjolles and Chaigneau, who perhaps also designed the main buildings.
