Selected from the book by the same title, these framing-quality images evoke the multi-layered architectural history of the five-mile stretch of New Orleans that encompasses a century of architectural styles, including intricate Queen Ann houses, stately Italianate and Richardsonian mansions, and more. This is where the old and new live cheek-by-jowl, where decay is an art form, and where preservation is a way of life.Photographer Kerri McCaffety's work has won a tremendous outpouring of praise:"[McCaffety's] photography is flawless and captivating."-Chere Cohen, Baton Rouge Advocate"McCaffety captures architectural structures with an unobtrusive and engaging eye, remaining acutely perceptive to light and its consequence of shadow."-Kyle Norris, ForeWord"For the reader who enjoys mansions and lavishness . . . also will appeal to those interested in the historic development of New Orleans."-Reba J. McMellon, The Mississippi Press
