Keep Off the Grass: 1910
New Orleans circa 1910. "Royal Street from the courthouse." Pedestrians will kindly resist any urges to leap into the shrubbery. 8x10 glass negative, Detroit Publishing Co. View full size.
3-Story Limit Not
Surprisingly modern looking high rise apartment (?) building in the distance. Also surprisingly out-of-place looking.
Gorgeous -- and hopefully still single
The lady in the far right corner has captured my heart. I so wish I could go back in time and request her hand in marriage!
The hustle vs the promenade
I appreciate Dave providing a Fashionisti panorama. The smartly dressed woman at right has a no-nonsense, I-got-somewhere-to-be stride. The man at left, walking toward the camera, is moving like a runway model.
At Least the Road Apples are Gone
The courthouse lost some of its foliage and Royal Street lost its streetcar but if you move forward in the following image towards Canal Street (which still has street cars), you can see there are still antique shops on Royal Street and also the Hotel Monteleone on the left.
