by Fred Daspit
Louisiana Architecture: 1714-1820 examines major and minor architectural structures throughout Louisiana, Mississippi from Port Gibson to the Gulf Coast, and several French settlements in the Upper Mississippi Valley. Organized chronologically, it begins with aboriginal structures and continues onto early constructions built by the French in Louisiana. It advances to discuss the founding of New Orleans in 1720 and ends with structures in Baton Rouge. A glossary, maps of the Louisiana Purchase, specific city maps, and different routes for interested readers to explore significant structures are also included.
