Steve Harrington replied:
What fascinates and puzzles me most is the varied window styles. Surely they were once uniform. It is a fine enigma! :)

Thank you, Sondra! The building is at 111 Rue Iberville, directly behind or north of the Westin Hotel on Canal St. I would love to know more about its history.

Steve, intriguing capture. I have never noticed this building before, but I'll have to check it out when I return. Also, I can post a question to the columnist at the "Gambit" periodical who answers such inquiries to see if he has anything to add about this architectural variety. V

Steve, I haven't been able to discover anything about the architecture, this is really intriquing...

Thanks, Diana! I don't know about ethnic diversity, but the cracks and rust suggest natural selection is hard at work. :)

Thanks, Sharon! The building is behind the Westin New Orleans Canal Place Hotel. I would love to know more about it. That might help solve the mystery of the window styles.
