La Branche Balcony

This lovely old building was built about 1835, by Jean La Branche. Its beautiful iron lace balconies, with intricate designs of entwined oak leaves and acorns, are outstanding among the many for which New Orleans is famous.

Here is just one more postcard...
New Orleans French Quarter
The French Quarter's stunning architecture is one of the many aspects of New Orleans culture that makes this city unique. One of the most pronounced features is the intricate ironwork on the balconies adorning the historic buildings. The architectural details of these homes were influenced by French and Spanish settlers back in the late 1700's to the early 1800's.
