The Double Shotgun Home, A New Orleans Origional!

New Orleans Uptown Shotgun Double, New Oreans Homes

The Shotgun Style of home originated in New Orleans beginning in the 1830's and extending to 1920's. This was the predominate style of home in New Orleans during that time. It was a narrow rectangle raised house on a small lot generally no wider than 25′. There were no hallways but you walked through one room to the next. Its was not until 1903 that people began to call them Shotguns, it was boasted that shooting a shotgun through the front door the buckshot would leave through the back door. A double shotgun is where the middle wall is shared, often times occupied by another family member. Thousands are still here !

New Orleans Garden District Home

The Garden District in New Orleans was developed in the prior before the Civil War and 1900. The area was formerly plantations that were divided into several homes per block with large gardens thus giving it the name of the Garden District. Wealthy English speaking residents moved to the area and loved to show off their new wealth. Over time many of the homes with large gardens were subdivided into small plots, thus increasing the variety of homes you see today.

Warehouse District Favorite, Lucy's Bar and Grill!

Lucy's New Orleans Warehouse District Neighborhood

Lucy's , the Retired Surfers Bar continues to be popular in the New Orleans Warehouse District. Its been open since 1992. Its actually a small chain of 3 that opened in 1985 by retired surfers. Located on the corner of Tchoupitoulas and Girod at 701 Tchoupitoulas. Its made it in New Orleans so it must have something to offer. Moderate drink prices and food that is good. Dressing up is not needed or required.

Its very normal to have bars and grills in the older neighborhoods of New Orleans. People just walk over to meet other people, have something to eat along with a couple of beers.

Atttention to detail was a trade mark for New Orleans in this time period. The wealthy wanted to show off their homes as this was a way to say I have made it.
