Nola´s houses
I
saw this house on Calhoun street 1548. I spent a few minutes to identify what
kind of house. At the end, observing the characteristics I know was a eastlake
shotgun double. The reason is because I can see
turned-wood balustrade, two over-four full-length window, piecework,
turned-wood colonnete, traisom, quions and gallery. So all these
characteristics are common for a Eastlake Shotgun Double.
This
is my favorite house, because is absolutely gorgeous for me. I can not identify
what type it is. But If i compare with the other styles, this house have some
elements of greece architecture.
House in New Orleans
This is typical New Orleans Bungalow Shotgun Double house. Two families live in this houses and they shared the center wall. Each family has the first floor and second floor.
This is a nice house, which I don't know the house style. It looks like a king house.

Houses
This is regular shotgun single house. I saw it on the state street. It's very long and narrow. This is traditional type of house, but I think it little bite like Queen Anne house. I found there have lot of houses have trigonal roof. I guess the reason is depend on climate. This kind of roof is cooler than other roof. In New Orleans summer, it's very important.
house style in New Orleans
1225,Burdette. This is a typical double shotgun house which is very easy to identify.Because there are two entrances which are connected to each other and sharing a central wall. They are a form of semi-detached housing.
7328, Plum.This is the house whose style is hard for me to identify. The upper windows look like Acadian style but the shape of the whole building doesn't exactly match the style. So it's hard to judge.

New Orleans in 4th place for Hipster culture
According
to travel + Leisure magazine, New Orleans makes the top 10 in the magazine’s
list called “America’s Best Cities for Hipsters”. New Orleans is in 4th
place because it is a city that offers so much culture to Hipster people. The
author of the article displayed that “We may not be Portland, Seattle or San
Francisco but New Orleans has a legendary café culture and a rich music and
arts scene”. Travel + Leisure pointed that the best and newest place to see
this culture is Marigny area, which is an historic neighborhood.
