Southern Comfort

The Garden District of New Orleans

S. Frederick Starr

Southern Comfort details the magnificent architecture and planning of the Garden District of New Orleans. Through the histories of the developers, owners, architects, laborers and craftspeople who shaped this district, the book creates a picture of a uniquely cosmopolitan city in the American South.

This title, first published in 1989 and long unavailable, has been carefully updated by the author. It includes 90 color photographs, showing the brightly painted facades for which this neighborhood is famous, domestic interiors that have never been published, and restoration efforts that have occurred in the past decade.
