I can't tell if this is a Mod or a Rocker.

NOLA Architecture 013 - Blue House

Please click on the image for a larger, more-detailed version.Again, New Orleanians are not afraid of bold colors. This is a shotgun house. This means there are no hallways, just a series of rooms with all of the doors in a row. Theoretically, you could open all of the doors and shoot a shotgun through without hitting anything.
Or at least that's one definition.

This could be a cross-over to the Shutter-Swap photos because it shows a pile of house guts next to it. The condition of the homes ranged in rows- maybe concentric circles. First you had houses with no damage, maybe a roof was damaged. Then you had houses with missing roofs and broken windows. Next were houses that look fine, but everything inside of them was destroyed by the flood, so everything had to be thrown out, right down to the sheet rock. Finally at the center, or last row of destruction, you had stuff that just needed to be bulldozed.
Very Dante.

I've watched these buildings decay for a lot of years.
I fear they are just going to be wiped away.

NOLA Architecture 003 - Fallen Cake

Accurately described by my bride as a "fallen cake", this is likely not a candidate for rehab. One must understand that New Orleans looked like this BEFORE Katrina and Rita. The city has been neglected for 35 years. And it has been rebounding for 35 years.
