    CITY PLANNING COMMISSION CITY OF NEW ORLEANS MITCHELL J. LANDRIEU ROBERT D. RIVERS MAYOR EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR LESLIE T. ALLEY DEPUTY DIRECTOR City Planning Commission Staff Report Executive Summary Summary of Uptown and Carrollton Local Historic District Proposals: The Historic Preservation Study Committee Report of April 2016, recommended the creation of the Uptown Local Historic District with boundaries to include the area generally bounded by the Mississippi River, Lowerline Street, South Claiborne Avenue and Louisiana Avenue, and the creation of the Carrollton Local Historic District with boundaries to include the area generally bounded by Lowerline Street, the Mississippi River, the Jefferson Parish line, Earhart Boulevard, Vendome Place, Nashville Avenue and South Claiborne Avenue. These partial control districts would give the Historic District Landmarks Commission (HDLC) jurisdiction over demolition. Additionally, it would give the HDLC full control jurisdiction over all architectural elements visible from the public right-of-way for properties along Saint Charles Avenue between Jena Street and South Carrollton Avenue, and over properties along South Carrollton Avenue between the Mississippi River and Earhart Boulevard. Recommendation: The City Planning Commission staff recommends approval of the Carrollton and Uptown Local Historic Districts as proposed by the Study Committee.

  • La Mare a Bore at Center Left
    Geographies of New Orleans A 'Lake' in Broadmoor? Natural Paradise Once Graced Uptown's Last Open Tract Richard Campanella Contributing writer, GEOGRAPHIES OF NEW ORLEANS Published in the Times-Picayune/New Orleans Advocate, November 1, 2020, page A1 Conversations with older residents of the Broadmoor and Fontainebleau neighborhoods often prompt recollections of a “lake” in that vicinity prior to its urbanization. Indeed, a 1922 aerial photograph shows a large undeveloped tract—the last in the area—between Jefferson and Nashville avenues, going back from South Claiborne Avenue to Gert Town. Having subsided to a few feet below sea level, those open fields probably accumulated runoff after heavy rains, creating what looked like what many secondary sources describe as a “twelve-acre lake” in Broadmoor. But if we go back a century earlier, there turns out to be more to the story than a muddy field. Descriptive evidence comes from the pen of famed lawyer and narrative historian Charles Gayarré, who grew up on the plantation encompassing that low spot, and wrote of his memories in an 1886 Harper’s New Monthly Magazine article titled “A Louisiana Sugar Plantation of the Old Regime.” Gayarré was the grandson of Etienne de Boré, the man widely credited—thanks in part to Gayarré’s own dramatized recounting—with figuring out how to granulate locally grown sugarcane juice. That 1795 breakthrough led to a massive expansion of sugar cultivation in lower Louisiana, and of the institution of slavery on which it depended. De Bore’s plantation extended from the present-day 6000 to 6300 blocks of Tchoupitoulas Street straight back to what is now the intersection of Nashville Avenue and Earhart Expressway, an area that includes the aforementioned tract that was still undeveloped as of 1922.

  • Flight Paths
    NEW ORLEANS NOSTALGIA Remembering New Orleans History, Culture and Traditions By Ned Hémard Flight Paths Some New Orleans natives remember their airport on Airline Highway as Moisant Field. On July 11, 2001, it was renamed for Louis Armstrong in honor of the famous jazz musician’s centennial birthday (actually August 4, 1901). For years, everyone (including Louis, it seems) believed he was born on July 4, 1900. His baptismal certificate was finally located at Sacred Heart of Jesus Church on Canal Street after his death (revealing the correct date). Things are not always what they seem. For example, if you were to presume that Airline Highway was named because of the airport or airplanes, you would be wrong. It was built in the 1930s and 1940s to provide a direct route between Baton Rouge and New Orleans. Airline was once a synonym for a beeline, or a straight direct route. Governor Huey Long was said to have pushed for this route so he would have a shorter trip as he shuttled between the capital and New Orleans. Rather than running along the bending Mississippi River, Airline Highway runs in a relatively straight path. A portion of it has been renamed Airline Drive in an effort to clean up its history of no-tell motels (to which some in times past have made a beeline … including televangelist Jimmy “I have sinned!” Swaggart). “I have sinned!” A February 23, 1988, article in the Times-Picayune reported that a witness told interrogators that Swaggart “on several occasions visited the Texas Motel at 3520 Airline and the Travel Inn at 1131 Airline, where he could park his plush Lincoln Town Car in the rear.” Running roughly parallel to Airline Drive is the Earhart Expressway, an extension of Earhart Boulevard.
