Though by the time this photo was made this residence had decidedly tipped from genteel into shabby, the house illustrates the Mediterranean concept of a city residence very well: built out to the front property line, usually the sidewalk, and most of the rooms giving onto the internal patio/courtyard or galleries facing same. Fresh air (or what passes for it in Summertime New Orleans) and absinthe -- gracious living in the pre-Freon era.
