Yet with this revived interest, has come commercialization, overzealous restoration and opportunistic vandalism in addition to existing neglect and abandonment. As a result many of these sites are now at serious risk through loss of physical integrity and historical character as well as changing social and cultural contexts. A new approach to their care and management as cultural landscapes is urgently needed to make more informed decisions regarding their preservation and long- term development. New Orleans's earliest burial grounds were established in close

JOTTINGS OF LOUISIANA ILLUSTRATED HISTORICAL SKETCH OF THE MOST ILLUSTRIOUS LANDMARKS OF NEW ORLEANS, And the Only Remaining Buildings of Colonial Days.

COPY B. : POETICAL JOTTINGS OF THE HISTORY OF LOUISIANA. —f-f — BY CHARLES UAYARPE The following quotations are taken from the History of Louisiana by Charles Gayarre, the eminent writer and historian, and will no doubt prove to be a very appropriate preface to this work, as it will admit a basis of comparison for "Louisiana as it is to-day." After a masterly and graceful preliminary the learned historian said "I am willing to apply that criterion to Louisiana, considered both physically and historically; I am willing that my native State, which is but a fragrant of what Louisiana formerly was, should stand and fall by that test, and do not fear to approach with her the seat of judgment. I am prepared to show that her history is full of poetry of the highest order, and of the most varied nature. I have studied the subject "con amore," and with such reverential enthusiasm, and I may say with such filial piety, that it has grown upon my heart as well as upon my mind.

Per our proposal to the District, our comprehensive study of the entire structure was terminated upon the conclusion that the original building cannot be feasibly restored. Our team has spent many hours inspecting the building and I would like to stress that, with the scheduled continued monitoring, the school is currently safe for the students to occupy. Recent additions of code- compliant entrance protection ensure this is true on the building exterior as well. The enclosed report explains the current conditions of the 105 year-old original school and why the structure cannot be feasibly renovated to meet current codes. A review of the Annex structure is also included. Please call me with any questions. Sincerely, ______________________________ Thomas G. Leonard, P.E.
