New Orleans, Historic District Landmarks Commission, Survey Map 1979

the Historic Districts and Landmarks Commission of New Orleans,
survey of 19th century historic architecture, completed December, 1979.
Areas surveyed are those colored in yellow and represent areas that have potential to be listed on the National Register of Places, as National Register historic Architectural Districts. Those areas shaded in grey were also a part of the survey, as part of the windshield survey, and were determined to be not old enough to include in the survey of 19th century neighborhoods, although could be surveyed in years to come, as these neighborhoods become older, and may well represent historically early 20th century architecture, types and styles adapting and evolving from the earlier late 19th century architecture.
To see the set of maps with individual evaluations of each structure, click on the map above.

Dedra Johnson’s debut novel, “Sandrina’s Letter to Tomorrow”, Attention New Orleanians! Go To This Reading!

Attention New Orleanians! Go To This Reading!

a brilliant debut album by Dedra Johson, published this November and now availiable in New Orleans, as well as on Amazon, to find her Amazon.com page, search “Dedra Johnson” Pulitzer Prize winner Robert Olen Butler has this to say about Dedra’s novel:
“Reading Dedra Johnson’s Sandrine’s Letter to Tomorrow, I was fully in the presence of the mind, heart, and soul of a richly rendered, fascinating fictional character. I knew I was also in the presence of the brilliant voice and sensibility of a major new American writer. This is an important novel by a true artist.”
Here’s the Amazon description: “Set in 1970s-era New Orleans, Sandrine’s Letter to Tomorrow is the disturbingly powerful and uplifting story of a young African American girl named Sandrine, whose only refuge against a world of poverty, racial discrimination, and parental abuse are the letters she writes to her dead grandmother. In the tradition of Toni Morrison’s The Bluest Eye and Alice Walker’s The Color Purple, Sandrine’s Letter to Tomorrow is a brilliant debut from an important new voice in African American fiction.”
