Cast iron column; column capital. Measured drawing delineated by U. J. Theriot and A. Boyd Cruise, April 1940. (Reproduction Number: HABS LA-53, sheet 21 of 26; negative number LC-USZA3-5) The cast-iron column and capital shown here in this HABS measured drawing are distinguishing features of the Le Pretre Mansion in the famous French Quarter of New Orleans. Built around 1836, the mansion is named after its second owner, Jean Baptiste Le Pretre, a local merchant who added the second- and third-story cast-iron balconies to the exterior after 1850. The mansion is also known for its high basement, the first of its kind to be built in the French Quarter. Credit: Library of Congress.
