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.

Houses

This is a typical Queen Anne House. It has an interesting outside. It is very large. There has different roof types on this house. I like this house's color. Ir's pretty new house. The side- gable roof is very special one.



















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 cafĂ© 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.
