In the original square system to determine parcels of land in New Orleans, the property is in Square Number 86.
Camelback: A two-story rear portion that does not run the full length of the ground floor, either added or original. Most of these are shotgun-type houses.
Shotgun Double: A double shotgun residence with a shared interior dividing wall, chimneys and roof and no internal hall. Each room accesses the next room. Typically wood-frame construction. This is vernacular architecture that is possibly influenced by Haitian/West African Long Houses. Compare Shotgun Single.
Eastlake: The Eastlake style came into vogue in New Orleans in the late 1870s and continued to be influential until the first decade of the 20th century. The most striking feature of the Eastlake style is the use of pierced, cut, turned and other patterned wooden trim, quoins, brackets, porch posts and rails in conjunction with wood shingle siding in a variety of shapes and patterns. High-style Eastlake buildings frequently exhibit a wrap-around porch, an irregular floor plan, a complex roof plan, bay windows, turrets or towers, patterned roofing shingles, decorative metal ridge caps and attic vents, and multi-light, specialty-shaped or stained glass windows.
