Description

"Rat-proofing a building"

"View of a commercial building on Canal Street undergoing rat-proofing during the New Orleans plague; an African American work crew in front of the building cleans up the debris."

Notes: The plague was detected in rats at the Port of New Orleans in 1914, prompting a major rat eradication effort. Sign on used furniture store reads "Located Across the Way at 1313 Canal St. While Ratproofing is Going On". To left is "Bijou Pharmacy", per period directories at 1300 Canal Street. Intersection is at corner of S. Liberty. Further left building reads "Alphonse Cafe". None of the buildings visible are still standing.
