Synopsis
"An important and necessary contribution to recording and understanding the city's architectural history. . . . a welcome contrast to the superficialities that make up most other publications on New Orleans. . . . inspires you to get out and see the buildings." -New Orleans Times-Picayune "Quite possibly the most comprehensive architectural examination of any American city." -Landscape Architecture Magazine Originally published in 1971, New Orleans Architecture Volume I: The Lower Garden District, has set the standard for the landmark, critically acclaimed, award-winning New Orleans Architecture Series. The Lower Garden District, comprised of one of the most comprehensive nineteenth-century Greek Revival communities remaining in America, contains numerous stately mansions, plantation homes, country cottages, and sophisticated multifamily dwellings. This volume covers the area from Howard Avenue to Jackson Avenue, and from the Mississippi River to Claiborne Avenue. Researched and written by the Friends of the Cabildo, one of America's leading preservation organizations, the oversized, heavily illustrated volume features a color section of architectural renderings from New Orleans Notarial Archives. The New Orleans Architecture Series consists of Volume I: The Lower Garden District, Volume II: The American Sector, Volume III: The Cemeteries, Volume IV: The Creole Faubourgs, Volume V: The Esplanade Ridge, Volume VI: Faubourg Treme and the Bayou Road, Volume VII: Jefferson City, and Volume VIII: The University Section, all available from Pelican.

First printing (as stated upon copyright page). xx, 172 pages. Hardcover: H 29.75cm x L 23.25cm. Dust jacket rubbed with some soiling, toning along spine and flap folds, light bumping at spine ends with minor chip at heel, 5cm tear ascending from heel of front flap fold into front panel's lower right, several other short closed tears at edges; dj now presented in a mylar Brodart protector. White cloth with black lettering to spine and front board. Light foxing to edges; strong foxing to several initial and rear leaves but with only scattered occurrences to primary text pages which, overall, remain quite clean. Binding is firm. A very good- copy in a very good- dust jacket. With black endpapers illustrated with a section of an 1834 topographical map by Charles Zimpel delineating the Esplanade Ridge, frontispiece, Dedication by Leonard Huber, Foreword by President of the Friends of the Cabildo Elizabeth Pharr Moran, b/w photographs, maps, plans, illustrations, elevations, Epilogue, Selected bibliography, and Index. Although houses were built on lower Esplanade Avenue as early as 1810, most were constructed in the 1830s or later, and hence many residences along the avenue's thirty-three blocks feature classic Greek Revival or Italianate styling. As summarized on the dj: "Bound along its entire 3.3 mile length by historic neighborhoods - such as the Vieux Carre, Marigny, Treme, New Marigny, and faubourgs St. John and Pontchartrain - the majestic avenue anchors a unified type of architecture: double-level brick or frame side-hall houses, galleried, with extravagant millwork, plaster, and marble mantles, and opulent interior decor." THE ESPLANADE RIDGE had the smallest print run among all eight books in the series and was never re-issued in cloth (i.e. the first printing is the only clothbound printing) and thus hardcover copies are quite uncommon. {Shelf#5} Description copyright David Hallinan, Bookseller.
