Built by a famed New Orleans Architect
Henry Howard is a famed New Orleans architect, whose influence can be spotted on nearly every block of the Garden District, through much of Uptown and in parts of downtown New Orleans. His work was know to favor the Roman arch and elements of Greek temples, as seen in the Henry Howard Hotel. Born in Ireland, Howard's work combined historical formality with local stylistic influences, such as shutters and deep porches.
