The Vieux Carr?: A General Statement

By Bernard Lemann

Beginning in the 1920s, New Orleans was one of the first U.S. cities to deliberately attempt to preserve its architectural heritage. In this influential and prophetic essay, Tulane professor of architecture Bernard Lemann argues for a rational balance between commercial growth and historic preservation in the French Quarter, offering a philosophical blueprint for keeping the Vieux Carr 1/2 a living, vibrant neighborhood.
