New Orleans, 1935. "New Orleans Negro street. Louisiana"

Note: Appears to be the back of town section in or near the Treme neighborhood, likely at or near area soon after demolished for the construction of the Iberville Housing Projects. Photo seems to have been taken with telephoto lens which forshortens distance. 2 church steeples are seen at left. Closer one-- possibly Our Lady of Guadelupe? Further one probably St. Louis Cathedral. At end of the street in far distance the cupola of the Cabildo is visible; just to the right of the rightmost telephone pole the tower of the Jax Brewery is seen. Conti Street? Or a bit further down river, with the old Carondelet Canal behind the fence at right? Wall at right-- St. Louis Cemetery?

To thread the needle between the Cabildo cupola and the Jax Brewery would require that it was taken on Lafitte Ave., probably at the intersection of Claiborne Ave. If that's correct, then the fence to the right would have been limiting access to the railroad tracks shown in this 1935 map. Another location with the same angle, would be that this photo was taken on present day Saint Peter Street near or at the intersection of Treme Street. This location could easily confirm the straight ahead shot of the Cabildo cupola.
