New Orleans Style

New Orleans, like many port cities, boasts a mix of home styles with influences from around the world. Architectural styles include the double-gallery house, shown here, most popular from 1820 to 1850. This style of home has distinct French details, a side-gabled or hipped roof, and an asymmetrical placement of windows and doors. It is traditionally raised on piers and can have a brick, wood, or stucco exterior.
