Winner of Best Guidebook Award 2019 from the Southeast Chapter of the Society of Architectural Historians

New Orleans isn't like other cities, Stella tells her sister Blanche DuBois in Tennessee Williams's A Streetcar Named Desire. Cradled in the crescent of the Mississippi River and surrounded by water, the city has faced numerous challenges since its founding as a French colonial outpost in 1718. This detailed guidebook to New Orleans architecture--an authoritative, comprehensive, post-Hurricane Katrina overview of buildings, neighborhoods, and landscapes--tells a compelling and fascinating story of the city through concise descriptions of nearly 300 significant structures, open spaces, and lesser-known places, enhanced by 175 photographs and 23 maps. Conveniently organized into thirteen neighborhood tours, two road trips into nearby parishes, and three excursions up and down the Mississippi River along the historic Great River Road, and enlivened by sidebars highlighting everything from renowned authors, cuisine, and jazz to public markets, green spaces, and historic preservation, this handy insider's guide to New Orleans will appeal to all who are interested in the history of one of America's most interesting places.
