A long two-story white stucco building with a red mansard roof, dormer windows, and green louvered shutters stands behind a lawn and flower beds. A central pediment with a clock face, balustraded balcony, and arched entrance marks the front. The caption identifies it as the Archbishop's Palace in New Orleans, long the residence of the city's Catholic archbishops on Chartres Street. Its classical front and steep red roof fit the Vieux Carré's mix of French colonial and 19th-century architecture.
