House in Garden District of New Orleans

Summary[edit]

Description

Garden District, New Orleans. Early 19th century raised house with old style "Embrace" double stairways. According to local tradition, originally seperate stairways were used with men going up on one side and women on the other, so the men wouldn't have the temptation of watching the women's ankles as they lifted their skirts to ascend.

2600 block of Coliseum Street.
