A lovely example of the Italianate style with a two-story front porch located in the Garden District of New Orleans.
One of America’s most famous historic neighborhoods, the district is filled with wonderful 19th and early 20th century homes. New Orleans is known as one of American’s most unique and special cities. The historic architecture of the city plays a large role in creating and maintaining that unique character.
The Italianate style arrived in America from England before the Civil War and continued in popularity into the 1880s.
Understanding the style of a house is the essential first step in developing a restoration plan that prioritizes the preservation and restoration of character-defining features while making changes necessary for modern life in an old house.
More than two dozen full color photos are used to illustrate the Italianate style in Chapter 2 of “Restoring Your Historic House, The Comprehensive Guide for Homeowners.”
