Royal Street dig is underway

I talked for a few seconds to the very approachable team member who informed me that they were focusing on colonial artifacts and will gently place the later ones aside for others to peruse. This team is also doing two other digs presently, one in Treme.

Royal Street building collapses

635495111864950008-royalstann

Exterior wall on side of building between Saint Ann and Dumaine collapses and spills into the street. Luckily, no pedestrians were underneath at the time. Deputy Sheriffs were a half block away and called fire and secured the street in minutes.

Lot with building completely gone. Someone stuck a public art installation that mocks the P3 ones around town soon after the collapse; that "R3 exhibit" is still up.

Sean Friloux, Royal Street artist

The artist that shows and sells his work on the St. Louis Cathedral (St. Anthony’s garden) fence at Royal Street made this beautiful short piece. His work was introduced to us courtesy of New Orleans photographer, author, restaurant family (Antoine’s of course) Roy Guste who is adding one of Sean’s pieces into his new book commemorating Antoine’s 175 years on St. Louis Street.

A serious renovation begins on Royal Street house

(original post from 2013)
This is a nice little house in the 1000 block of Royal Street between Ursuline and St. Philip. The family that owned for the last 80 years sold it after using it as rental property for much of that time. The new owner is reportedly from New Orleans and is moving back to live in this house, once renovated.
Literally, the house has been taken down to its front and side outside walls and will be expanded over the next year or more. That back house has been empty forever and they will deal with it after the front house is done.

Stay tuned for more pictures over the next few months….
