Description

A once-proud old building, with an old shop on the first floor and interesting and detailed railings on the balcony, stands in disrepair on a corner in the Faubourg-Marigny district, near the French Quarter in New Orleans. The red stoplight seems to be warning passersby not to come too near. This building caught my eye because of the extent of damage it had endured, including the ravages of natural aging, water leaks, broken and spray-painted windows, and the various colors of paint that had been applied over the years, presumably to cover up some sort of unsightly blemishes.
