History of New Orleans French Quarter | Almost Demolished
By the 20th century, the French Quarter of New Orleans, the neighborhood built by the wealthy aristocrats of the 18th and 19th centuries, had become a slum for the working class. In an attempt to stomp out the “ugly“ and “outdated“ neighborhood, demolition work began, but ironically the storied history of the Quarter or “Vieux Carre“ became the very thing that swayed public opinion to save it from destruction.
