Indicate whether the property has historic integrity.) ______________________________________________________________________________ Summary Paragraph The Touro-Shakspeare Home is located in New Orleans, LA on the West Bank of the Mississippi River in Algiers, a historic neighborhood within the city limits. Touro-Shakspeare Home was designed and constructed between 1927 and 1933 as an almshouse for people in need, with the ability to accommodate 175 residents. The Touro-Shakspeare Home was designed by a well-known local architect, William R. Burk, in Neo-Classical Revival and Jacobean Revival styles. Its building materials are brick, stucco, and stone, and it has a tile roof. Its most recognizable exterior feature is its diapering brickwork pattern, indicative of its Jacobean Revival style. The building footprint is square in shape, with two central cloister gardens that allow light to soak the interior spaces and reach all of the former residents' rooms. Inside the cloister gardens are two contributing objects in the form of cast stone fountains. The Touro-Shakspeare Home sits upon a large, long grassy plot of land that is extremely lush, albeit now overgrown. The building is set back from the busy thoroughfare of General Meyer Avenue. There is a contributing structure in the form of a shelter on General Meyer Avenue at a former bus shelter, which was part of the original architectural plans. There are also two non-contributing shed structures behind the main building that have fallen into disrepair and are in a ruined state. Although the Touro-Shakspeare Home has been abandoned for 15 years, it still retains its historic integrity of location, setting, design, materials, workmanship, feeling, and association. _____________________________________________________________________________ Narrative Description EXTERIOR According to architect William R. Burk's original plans from 1929, the Touro-Shakspeare Home’s footprint measures 194 ft by 204 ft. The building totals approximately 65,000 square feet. The Touro-Shakspeare Home is primarily two stories except for a small third level situated above front entrance. The grand entrance has a prominent protruding portico with four Temple of the Winds columns, hearkening back to its Classical architectural association. The north-facing main entrance used to have a walkway flanked with decorative lampposts, which were visible in historic photos as well as in photos prior to Hurricane Katrina, but these lampposts are no longer extant. However, the low brick walls on either side of the walkway remain underneath the overgrown shrubbery. 3 United States Department of the Interior National Park Service / National Register of Historic Places Registration Form NPS Form 10-900 OMB No. 1024-0018 Touro-Shakspeare Home Orleans Parish, LA Name of Property County and State The building is mostly symmetrical, has 25 bays on the front facade, and 19 on each side. There are taller roof heights in some areas, such as the front entrance and the chapel, which has a 20-foot barrel-vaulted ceiling. In the center of the eastern and western elevations are projections that span three bays, and rise two and a half stories. At the top of this projection is a decorative parapet. The building has a cement foundation, upon which are brick walls punctuated by cast stone detail elements. The front entrance façade, behind the columns, is stuccoed in the same place as its design plans, by the office of architect William R. Burk in 1929 from the Southeastern Architectural Archive showed. These plans also illustrated metal down spouts on the building's perimeter corners, but these are no longer extant. The exterior walls of the chapel and boiler room, which form the central core between the two cloister gardens, are stuccoed with brick quoining details between window openings and on wall edges. Cast stone and tile shingles make up the components of the gable roof. There are 56 window openings visible on the front façade, and 39 on the east and west elevations. Although the fenestral openings are all boarded up now to keep the interior secure and none of the original windows are extant, they were once primarily steel casement windows. According to the historical plans, windows were multi-lite casement with a three over three pane pattern, but some were two over two, and windows with smaller panes were eight over twelve, or eight over sixteen. Fenestral openings either have cast stone pointed lintels or brick arches. The original windows shown in the construction documents and in historic photos were replaced at a later date with aluminum framed windows, which were all stolen when the building was abandoned after Hurricane Katrina in 2005. The Touro-Shakspeare Home is built symmetrically around a central core, inside which is a grand nondenominational chapel, boiler room, and kitchen. On either side of this central core are two cloister courtyards that connect the interior to the exterior spaces. These gardens were placed strategically in central areas to allow light to soak the surrounding rooms, ensuring every area in the building – especially the dormitory rooms for the Home’s former residents – had equal access to natural sunlight. With multiple entry points to the courtyards from all sides as well as on both the first and second levels, these spaces were universally accessible and at the heart of the Home. On the ground level of the gardens

NIMS JAZZ WALK OF FAME, AND GET THE BEST VIEW OF NEW ORLEANS’ SKYLINE COPYRIGHT © 2016, KEVIN HERRIDGE www.risingsunbnb.com Jazz musicians of the 1920s referred to Algiers as “over da river” or the “Brooklyn of the South,” the latter for its proximity to New Orleans as compared to New York and Brooklyn, both separated by a river. This tour concentrates on the Algiers Point neighborhood, that has a long, rich history of African American, French, Spanish, German, Irish, and Italian/Sicilian residents. Algiers, the second oldest neighborhood in New Orleans after the French Quarter, was the site of the slave holding areas, newly arrived from Africa, the powder magazine, and slaughterhouse of the early 18th century. John McDONOGH, the richest man, and largest landowner in New Orleans, lived here. Algiers was famous countrywide in the African American communities for its “Voodoo” and “Hoodoo” practitioners, and is celebrated in songs on this subject. The earliest bands containing Algiers’ musicians included the Pickwick Brass Band (1873-1900s), the Excelsior Brass Band (1880-1928), Jim DORSEY’s Band (1880s), Prof. MANETTA’s String Band (1880s), BROWN’s Brass Band of McDonoghville (1880s), and Prof. A. L. TIO’s String Band (aka the Big Four) (1880s), the Pacific Brass Band (1900-1912), and Henry ALLEN’s Brass Band (1907-1940s).

  • Landscape of Remembrance: Spatial Distribution of New Orleans Katrina Commemorations
    Landscape of Remembrance: Spatial Distribution of New Orleans Katrina Commemorations Mike Winiski – Furman University / Penn State University Drew Woten – Furman University Perspective “’Distant reading’ I have once called this type of approach; where distance is however not an obstacle but a specific form of knowledge: fewer elements, hence a sharper sense of their overall interconnection. Shapes, relations, structures. Forms. Models.” Moretti, 2005, Graphs, Maps, Trees Research Questions 1. How do the locations and forms of Katrina commemorations in greater New Orleans correspond to storm impact? 2. Are certain contingents, as represented by place and demographics, excluded from the commemoration process? 3. Do the form and nature of these commemorations vary across the city and different neighborhoods? If so, how? http://www.flickr.com/photos/midnightquill/416540958/sizes/z/in/photostream/ Defining Commemoration 1. Has a discernible location (temporary or permanent) 2. Visibly invokes a remembrance of Katrina event 3. Invokes memory of event or collective loss, rather than individual memorials (grave markers, etc.) Purpose of Commemorations • Remember • Grieve • Honor lost loved ones • Hold accountable / Ascribe responsibility • Express anger • Confirm community through shared experience • Tell stories • Express hope • Promote understanding within and beyond community http://photos.nola.com/photogallery/2010/08/hurricane_katrina_body_art_15.html http://www.flickr.com/photos/navillusphotography/3626506521/sizes/z/in/photostream/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/navillusphotography/3626506521/sizes/z/in/photostream/ Exclusion “Cultural, just as individual memory is an extremely narrow space regulated by rigid principles of selection and forgetting. Those who examined the borderline—Gray speaking for the poor peasants, Woolf speaking for women, Ellison speaking for African Americans— were for the first time calling attention to the structural mechanisms that exclude whole groups of the population from active participation in the cultural memory” (Assmann, 2009, p.

The CCSRC is composed of nine total members, with one appointed by each Councilmember with a formal or informal background of the history and geography of New Orleans. Mayor LaToya Cantrell and the City Planning Commission appointed the remaining two members. The Commission was charged with several key responsibilities, which included conducting a thorough research and public engagement process to develop a comprehensive set of renaming recommendations for streets, parks, and places across the city. In the course of auditing the list of City streets beyond those initially identified by the New Orleans Public Library, the Commission consulted a panel of experts to provide an additional set of names, which was used to formulate the recommendations listed in this report.
