A smaller New Orleans home can be called a cottage. This is a New Orleans double with a twist. It has an addition that was built in the last 50 years to give additional space for the families. A camelback is a tow story addition that is usually a nice size bedroom and bath that would have been added. The inside laundry was added with the kitchen most likely being remodeled in the rear. You still have the porch, shutters, iron work, millwork, and brick steps that were added at a later date. This one looks like a classic in the New Orleans Uptown area. You more than likelu have wide plank hardwood floors made from brages that brought trade down the Mississippi. Most of the time it was a one way trip down and the barge was sold for the wood. It was not until Mr. Fulton invented the steamship would boats be able to reverse the steps. It was an early green idea.
