The Garden District with its stately residences and gardens, epitomizes the beauty and mystery of New Orleans. The financial prosperity of 19th-century New Orleans enabled wealthy newcomers with similar values and tastes to construct a neighbourhood of opulent homes, creating a suburb with a unified style. This text details the architecture and planning of the Garden District in New Orleans. Through the histories of the developers, owners, architects, labourers and craftspeople who shaped this district, the book creates a picture of a uniquely cosmopolitan city in the American South.
