Album 452: Uptown and Garden District, New Orleans, June 1 - 5, 2005

The photograph showcases the Pedesclaux-Lemonnier House, situated on the corner of Royal and St. Peter Streets within the historic French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. The building was constructed in approximately 1780, having been built with three stories.

The house's façade is characterized by a faded light grey stucco exterior that exhibits signs of aging and wear from both hurricanes and the humid climate of New Orleans. The windows feature pale green shutters, while the top floor boasts two large, rectangular windows with white window frames. A third smaller window is situated above them, also with a white frame. On the ground floor, there are two long, narrow windows featuring pale green shutters on either side of an entrance door that is painted white.

A notable feature of the façade is a partially exposed brick wall, which has been revealed due to damage caused by hurricanes and humidity. The exposed bricks appear reddish-brown in color.

The building's condition suggests neglect over time, with overgrown vines covering parts of the walls, particularly on the upper floors. Additionally, some areas of the stucco exterior have peeled off, revealing rougher surfaces underneath.

In the background, the surrounding area appears to be largely unoccupied or abandoned, contributing to the overall atmosphere of decay and neglect that pervades the image. – AI vision

🇫🇷 Description en français / French Description

La maison Pedesclaux-Lemonnier battue par les ouragans et l'humidité au 636 - 640 Royal Street à un coin de la rue Saint Peter dans le quartier français. La Nouvelle-Orléans, Louisiane, le 5 juin 2005. La photographie met en évidence la maison Pedesclaux-Lemonnier, située au coin des rues Royal et St. Peter dans le quartier historique du Vieux Carré de La Nouvelle-Orléans, en Louisiane. La bâtisse a été construite vers 1780 avec trois étages. La façade se caractérise par un extérieur en stuc gris clair délavé qui montre des signes de vieillissement et d'usure causés à la fois par les ouragans et le climat humide de La Nouvelle-Orléans. Les fenêtres sont dotées de volets verts pâles, tandis que l'étage supérieur comporte deux grandes fenêtres rectangulaires avec des cadres blancs. Une troisième fenêtre plus petite est située au-dessus d'elles, également avec un cadre blanc. Sur le rez-de-chaussée, il y a deux longues fenêtres étroites dotées de volets verts pâles de chaque côté d'une porte d'entrée peinte en blanc. Une particularité notable de la façade est un mur en briques partiellement exposé, révélé en raison des dégâts causés par les ouragans et l'humidité. Les briques apparentes ont une teinte brun rougeâtre. L'état du bâtiment suggère la négligence au fil du temps, avec des vignes rampantes recouvrant certaines parties des murs, en particulier sur les étages supérieurs. En outre, certains endroits de l'extérieur en stuc ont été pelés, révélant des surfaces plus rugueuses sous-jacentes. En arrière-plan, la zone environnante semble être en grande partie inoccupée ou abandonnée, contribuant à l'atmosphère générale de délabrement et de négligence qui imprègne l'image. – French translation
