| Raised Center Hall Homes: Where you'll find it: In the American parts of town: Garden District, Irish Channel, Lower Garden District, and Uptown. What does it look like: Some say this is the American version of the Creole Cottage....maybe as Emeril says, they 'kicked it up a notch'. The Raised Center Hall homes that fill the American Sector of New Orleans are often gorgeous mansions that line St. Charles Avenue and fill the Garen District. Ok, I'm being a bit biased as this is my favorite styled home. A one and one-half story home raised anywhere from two to eight feet above ground level on brick piers. All have a full porch with 4 to 6 columns holding up the usually Greek-revival type roof with windows on either side of the front door that is always in the middle. The interior is exactly as stated - a center hall lays between two front galleries. All have side-gabled roofs and most have a central dormer over the front porch. Most were built in the early to late 1800s. Most are made of wood/stucco combination. 1803-1870. |
