Nola in the Spring– Part Four

Most of these houses are at least two stories high, some are three. If you can’t go wide, go tall. Here’s a view from an upstairs window.

There were five houses on the Springfest tour this year, two more traditional the other three quite modern. Here are some shots from the Bonnecarre house which is decorated more traditionally.

This wallpaper was brought over from England.

The Bonnecarre house belongs now to the French Quarter Trust, and is used for weddings because of its large parlor, dining room, and garden.

Notice on the outside the brickwork repaired at various points. Hurricanes have not spared this part of Nola, most recently flooded by Katrina.
