Voici une photographie d’un des bâtiments de Pontalba qui borde Jackson Square dans le quartier français de La Nouvelle-Orléans, en Louisiane, datée du 12 décembre 2006. L’image montre un bâtiment sur lequel figure la mention « Café Pontalba » et doté d’un balcon en fer forgé richement ouvragé. Le bâtiment apparaît comme l’un des nombreux qui bordent Jackson Square dans le quartier français de La Nouvelle-Orléans. * **Bâtiment** * Le bâtiment présente une architecture symétrique, avec deux ailes s’étendant vers l'extérieur depuis la partie centrale. * Chaque aile est surmontée d’un fronton et comprend de grandes fenêtres de chaque côté de l’entrée. * Un balcon en fer forgé longe le devant du bâtiment au-dessus du rez-de-chaussée, soutenu par des colonnes minces. * **Enseigne** * L’enseigne du Café Pontalba est accrochée au niveau du deuxième étage, au-dessous du balcon. * Elle a la forme d’un bouclier et comporte le nom « Café Pontalba » en lettres saillantes au centre. * **Décorations** * La façade du bâtiment est ornée de sculptures et de moulurations raffinées autour des fenêtres et portes. * Une corniche décorative court le long du haut de la partie centrale, soutenue par des pilastres. * Les frontons de chaque côté de l’entrée comportent des figures sculptées. En somme, cette image montre un bâtiment historique dans le quartier français de La Nouvelle-Orléans qui a été converti en café. Le riche décor et la conception symétrique du bâtiment témoignent de son origine au XIXe siècle. – French translation
