Product Review
"I was not prepared for the scope of this book and its fascinating forays into the cultural, social, and architectural histories of the Garden District and New Orleans in general. Starr has a talent for reading the cultural and personal undertones of a place or a piece of architecture, in this case, that is really quite astounding."
—Ron Filson, Dean, School of Architecture, Wane University
"Starr's book is the best yet written on New Orleans or any portion thereof."
—Roger G. Kennedy, Director, National Museum of American History, Smithsonian Institution
