FROM THE PREFACE: There is nowhere in the United States a place quite so rich as Louisiana for the study of architecture. Here a confluence of cultures occurred duringa period of affluence producing buildings which allow a unique study of changing values over two centuries. In this series of drawings are portrayedbuildings from the 18th and 19th centuries, the evolution from the basic cottage of the early settler through the period when affluence and importedconcepts of taste and style produced buildings far different. While most ofthe sketches are of residential buildings, included also are some public buildings, churches and even factories, all of which help express the changing values of their society.
