House In New Orleans

The Baron de Pontalba

I have many times tried to imagine the Baron de Pontalba first strolling through the New Orleans alleyways attempting to focus on his under construction French Quarter Decatur Street buildings. The year was 1834 and never could I have imagined that some 184 years later I would be the owner of his last construction before he returned to France but then I couldn't imagine him shooting his daughter in law four times and her surviving to build the Pontalba apartments.   Special thanks to the Baron de Pontalba for I

Could not imagine
selling the barons building
leaving me wealthy
