Description

Selected from the book by the same title, these framing-quality images evoke the multi-layered architectural history of the five-mile stretch of New Orleans that encompasses a century of architectural styles, including intricate Queen Ann houses, stately Italianate and Richardsonian mansions, and more. This is where the old and new live cheek-by-jowl, where decay is an art form, and where preservation is a way of life.

Photographer Kerri McCaffety's work has won a tremendous outpouring of praise:

[McCaffety's] photography is flawless and captivating.
-Chere Cohen, Baton Rouge Advocate

McCaffety captures architectural structures with an unobtrusive and engaging eye, remaining acutely perceptive to light and its consequence of shadow.
-Kyle Norris, ForeWord

For the reader who enjoys mansions and lavishness . . . also will appeal to those interested in the historic development of New Orleans.
