Preservation Resource Center
923 Tchoupitoulas St.
New Orleans, LA, 70130
Free admission and free parking don't mean you won't get a lot of history and view the beauty of New Orleans' architecture, because donations are welcomed at the Preservation Resource Center (PRC) in the arts and warehouse district of New Orleans. This museum captures the soul of New Orleans, through its display of a wide variety of architecture and neighborhoods. Your New Orleans apartment is an example of some of the varied building design of the city - whether it is old or new. A staff of 45 runs the resource center, with a goal of promoting the preservation, restoration, and revitalization of New Orleans' historic architecture and neighborhoods. As a hurricane-prone city, and not too long ago a victim of hurricane Katrina, it is particularly crucial to the center that the city is rebuilt in a way that is sensitive to the past, at the risk of losing everything that makes the city unique. You may view both permanent and rotating exhibits on the various neighborhoods of New Orleans. A replica of Jackson Square in 1855, with the spires of St. Louis Cathedral under construction, in addition to a portion of the adjacent French Market and docks on the Mississippi River is one display that captures the imagination of the New Orleans apartment-ite. View the city as it was seen in the past at the "Living With History" exhibit. This display features hundreds of professional and amateur photographs of New Orleans with people, autos, buildings and lifestyles of the past. Reprints of the photos are available for sale, and wouldn't it be cool to go to the location of the photo and take a new shot? Is the location of, or your current New Orleans apartment in one of the shots to make a comparison of past and current day? In addition to hosting a location where visitors can view the history of New Orleans in buildings, the PRC provides resources to residents to renovate houses and other buildings. Some of the renovations are beautiful, and have revitalized neighborhoods because of the efforts. Many families have benefited from the good will of the PRC. To view some of the refurbished homes and businesses, neighborhood maps are provided at PRC to take the tour, and brochures are available to tell you the details. Algiers Point, Holy Cross, Mid-City and New Marginy are just a few of the nearly 20 areas to visit and learn more about.
