New Orleans Architecture Vol V: The Esplanade Ridge

"New Orleans is one of America's richest architectural possessions ... these architecture books lay a solid foundation in the field, are a gift to general historians, and, as the authors hoped, have contributed immeasurably to the maintenance of extant architectural treasures. The 5th volume of this award-winning series now in paperback format. It focuses attention on the Esplanade, the broad, tree-lined avenue that stretches from the Mississippi River to Bayou St. John. The story of this street and the distinctive architecture reflected in its thirty-three city blocks is made even more accessible in paperback.
