1027 Saint Philip Street (Calle De San Felipe), New Orleans

Classic "New Orleans Creole Cottage" style house - high gabled roof parallel to the street, central chimney. Unlike "Creole Cottage" style in other locations (Mississippi etc), New Orleans CC's don't necessarily have a full-width front porch (although many do).

 

Ornate decorations, including the 4 corbels supporting the roof, the carved and painted architraves around the windows, and the wrought-iron grilles protecting the lights in the roof, are a common feature in many houses of the French Quarter (Vieux Carre) in New Orleans.
