Synopsis
One block at a time, this guidebook offers an expert's perspective on the architectural diversity and details of New Orleans' unique neighborhoods. A walk through the streets of the city takes one down brick sidewalks and past the ancient Creole cottages in the Vieux Carri, stately townhouses in the American Sector, Garden District center-halls, and ubiquitous shotguns. The walker passes along avenues lined with homes draped in the ornamentation typical of the Greek Revival, Italianate, and Craftsman styles, and through neighborhoods distinguished by milled brackets, arched-top windows, and clean, horizontal lines. New Orleans is a city of extraordinary variety and style, and this volume enables the casual tourist and lifelong resident alike the opportunity to walk down her blocks and appreciate the extraordinary architectural backdrop. With authority and verve, architectural historian and popular columnist R. Stephanie Bruno guides each reader through the brightly colored and diverse streets of New Orleans as she explores step by step the architectural details of the houses and the individual choices their owners have made to change each one during the course of renovations. In each neighborhood, Bruno highlights variations in architectural details and identifies elements of each house, allowing readers to recognize different architectural styles and even decide what type of house they would most like to inhabit. Organized geographically, each of the twenty-two chapters begins with a brief history of the neighborhood described. For each block included, characteristic landmarks, a description of the homes, and a conversational "anatomy of the block" portion, including anecdotes and renovation observations, give readers the sense of walking down the street. Colorful photo collages of the homes along with maps allowing easy identification of the areas complete this architectural tour of New Orleans., This presentation of the neighborhoods of New Orleans offers an expert's perspective on the city's architectural diversity and details, one block at a time. New Orleans Times-Picayune columnist Stephanie Bruno presents the best of her "StreetWalker" column in this illustrated resource. From the Garden District to Mid-City, each block included features photographs of the homes, a description of the buildings, and a map for easy access., This presentation of the neighborhoods of New Orleans offers an expert's perspective on the city's architectural diversity and details, one block at a time.

- v***v (2064)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseAlthough this book was not as described, with no picture of it in the listing, the seller communicated well and quickly gave me a full refund while letting me keep it. The minimal packaging left the book a bit vulnerable (typical for ThriftBooks), but it did arrive safely and timely. As usual, it’s hit or miss with this seller, but often times you can get great values, and their customer service is always very good. Many other sellers with millions of transactions don’t even communicate.
- 2***j (113)- Feedback left by buyer.Past monthVerified purchaseI've ordered several items from this vendor now and they've always been what they were advertised as. This was no exception. Both discs were in great shape as well as their jewel cases. Delivery is good, packaging is simple but effective for what you're paying and I haven't had any get damaged. Will keep buying from this vendor because of the results so far and good prices, too.
