new orleans: Tour the Garden District of New Orleans!
- 12/03/18 01:01 PM
The Garden District was once a bunch of southern plantations that were later divided off and made into neighborhoods. Once the area was divided and neighborhoods started to form, there were typically two houses per block and they were each surrounded by large gardens, which is where the “Garden District” gets its name. The area was first laid out in 1833 and was later annexed by New Orleans in 1852. Today, the Garden District is known for its manicured neighborhoods that are lined with oak trees and full of historic homes. Many of the homes are kept in pristine condition and consist … (1 comments)

new orleans: Explore Bywater NOLA!
- 11/26/18 11:22 AM
Known as one of New Orleans’ oldest neighborhoods, Bywater consists of shotgun houses that are nestled into the curve of the Mighty Mississippi. Originally, Bywater was called Faubourg Washington and then later became known as Little Saxony. It was not until the mid 20th century that locals began referring to the area as “Bywater.” Many locals began calling it this because the area was “by the water” with two of the boundaries being the Mississippi River to the south and the Industrial Canal to the east. With Bywater being one of the oldest and most historic neighborhoods in New Orleans, the architecture of … (0 comments)

new orleans: Explore Uptown New Orleans!
- 11/09/18 07:12 AM
After the Louisiana purchase, many settlers from all over the United States developed homes and businesses in the area up river from the older city. This direction that was upriver was refered to as “Uptown.” In the 19thcentury, Canal Street was the dividing line between “uptown” and “downtown” New Orleans. This dividing line was also the boundary between the large Francophone area downriver and the large Anglophone area upriver. Uptown was developed mostly from land that had previously been used as southern plantations. Different sections of the land were divided and developed into separate towns. Many of the grand homes from the … (1 comments)

new orleans: Explore Gentilly, LA!
- 10/18/18 07:50 AM
The first area of Gentilly to be developed was Gentilly Ridge. This area sat on the banks of Bayou Gentilly. Development was originally confined to this area because of its natural elevation. Most of the area surrounding the rage was swampland and development didn't begin until the early 20th century when the swampland was torn out to make way for plots of land that could be built on. This lead to Gentilly Terrace, a major section of Gentilly, being developed. Once drain pumps were invented, they were installed in Gentilly and the land quickly became suitable for building. Gentilly was developed in the … (1 comments)
new orleans: Tour Lakeview, LA
- 10/12/18 07:16 AM
Lakeview was originally owned by an order of priests called the Capuchins until New Orleans was taken over by Spanish Rule in 1763. The land was then taken over by Don Alomnester y Roxas. During these years, Lakeview was inhabitable since it was mostly swamp and marsh land. It wasn't until the late 19th century, when the land was owned by Alexander Milne, that it was able to be built on thanks to the construction of the New Basin Canal. Even still, most of the land went undeveloped until the mid 20th century when neighborhoods like Lakeshore and Lake Vista were developed.Much … (0 comments)
