Among architectural preservationists, the greatest fear six months ago was that developers eager for large tracts of open land would push the city to bulldoze whole neighborhoods of traditional housing, like the long, narrow "shotgun" houses that produce the intricate streetscape rhythms around large parts of the city. Because replacing them with cookie-cutter suburban development would destroy the heart of the city, the National Trust for Historic Preservation teamed with the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans to help finance the restoration of a number of flood-damaged older homes. The point was to show that it was entirely...
...with an accompanying DVD, and though it would seem like a luxury for most records, here it proves a necessity.
