Creolized

A 3-bay shotgun on Cleveland Avenue in the LSU footprint sports Craftsman details in the porch columns and overhangs...but also some old school shutters over the windows, generally characteristic of older construction than is found in most of the footprint.

A close look also reveals the interesting recessed side gallery toward the back just before a side bay.

Ready for Demolition?

From what I've been hearing, this little shotgun at 325 S. Tonti is slated for demolition in the near future.  In addition to the aesthetic value of some of its trim, the bulk of the building seems to be in stable structural shape.

Offset

I've seen this building from Claiborne in the past. But until recently, I had never viewed it from any other perspective. I was surprised to find out just how interesting the building was when I came at it from another angle - the second story is offset from center in a manner that seems almost more post-modern than early twentieth century Arts and Crafts.
