About this postcard

The Old French Courtyard appears as an enclosed retreat framed by brick arches and a balcony, with potted plants and a fountain or planter at the center. Such courtyards in New Orleans served as private outdoor rooms behind street facades, using brick walls, galleries, and dense greenery to create shade and quiet.
