walk about the Vieux Carré ...

Pedesclaux-Lemonnier House

 640  Royal  at  St.  Peter  Street

 French  Quarter

 New   Orleans,   La.

…

A  walk about  in the Quarter  

always  leads  me  to  the 'skyscraper'

more  formerly  known as  the 

Pedesclaux-Lemonnier  House.

…

Construction began in 1796 

 but  wasn't  completed until  1811.

…

Today the  property  is  on  the endangered 

historic  landmarks  list.

..

A  few  signs that  some  restoration is in progress.

  the  property  has a construction  wall 

and  scaffolding  in  place.
