Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:
Old rating: all buildings are green with the exception of the street front building and connecting links of the riverside buildings, which are rated orange; new rating: all buildings -- green; link between the street front building and the adjacent building on the riverside -- orange. In 1825 when the Ursulines Nuns relinquished their property in Sq. 51, no building stood on this site. Although documentary evidence to pinpoint the date of these assorted brick buildings is lacking, they probably date from the early 1830s when the Widow of Jean Baptiste Poeyfarre moved from her uptown plantation house into the great townhouse on Ursulines Street (today the Stone-Ingraham House). She perhaps built the assorted brick service buildings at 619 Gov. Nicholls, as well as on the site of 625 Gov. Nicholls, to increase the site of her urban estate.
