The Great Days of the Garden District, and the Old City of Lafayette
Martha Ann Brett Samuel and Ray Samuel
The great houses of New Orleans still stand behind their iron lace, and Martha Ann Brett Samuel walks you past every one. This is the story of the Garden District and old Lafayette, mansion by mansion, from the McGehee school to the historic homes on Prytania and Philip. Architecture, magnolias, and Southern memory intertwined. A garden-shaded stroll through one of America's loveliest neighborhoods.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
