New Orleans Porches, Like a Smiling Face of Homes

 Porches are Like a "Smiling Face"

New Orleans Historic Homes

Many Colorful Smiles

  Porches standout out like a smiling face in many of the homes in New Orleans. A Place for shade in the heat of the Summer and provide a dry space when raining. These homes were built before air conditioning was invented so it was a great insulator from the Summer Heat.  A great place to sit and watch the world go by.  Two story homes often have a gallery on top of the first floor porch.
