New Orleans Mint
New Orleans Mint

The New Orleans Mint (French: Monnaie de La Nouvelle-Orléans) operated in New Orleans, Louisiana, as a branch mint of the United States Mint from 1838 to 1861 and from 1879 to 1909. During its years of operation, it produced over 427 million gold and silver coins of nearly every American denomination, with a total face value of over US$ 307 million. It was closed during most of the American Civil War and Reconstruction. After it was decommissioned as a mint, the building has served a variety of purposes, including as an assay office, a United States Coast Guard storage facility, and a fallout shelter. Since 1981 it has served as a branch of the Louisiana State Museum. Damaged by Hurricane Katrina in 2005, after over two years of repairs and renovations, the museum reopened in October 2007. Exhibits include instruments used by some of New Orleans' notable jazz musicians, photographs, and posters, now part of the New Orleans Jazz Museum. The site is also a performance venue for jazz concerts, in partnership with the New Orleans Jazz National Historical Park and the private Music at the Mint organization.The Louisiana Historical Center is located on the third floor of the building. The center includes collections of colonial-era manuscripts and maps, and primary and secondary source materials in a wide range of media. It is open to anyone with an interest in Louisiana history and culture.The New Orleans Mint has been designated a National Historic Landmark, and it is the oldest extant structure to have served as a U.S. Mint. Along with the Charlotte Mint, it is one of two former mint facilities in the U.S. to house an art gallery.

Decatur Street is a street in the French Quarter neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA that runs parallel to the Mississippi River. Decatur was formerly known as "Levee Street" or Rue de la Levée, as it was originally the location of the levee. In 1870, when the river had altered its course, it was renamed "Decatur Street" in honor of the naval hero Stephen Decatur Jr. Decatur begins at Canal Street (the corresponding street up-river of Canal Street is Magazine), runs across the French Quarter , and terminates at St. Ferdinand Street in the Faubourg Marigny neighborhood. The most famous sights on Decatur Street are Jackson Square and nearby Café du Monde. For about a century, upper Decatur Street (the portion closer to Canal Street) had many businesses catering to sailors visiting the port of New Orleans. In the late 20th century, it was redeveloped and became more upscale, with establishments such as the House of Blues. In the late 20th century, lower Decatur Street became a center of local punk and goth subculture. It contains various bars and musical venues and is not far from Faubourg Marigny's Frenchmen Street venues. The Palm Court Cafe is a famous traditional jazz venue located on Decatur Street. in 2022 a number of spiritual shops opened or moved to lower Decatur Street. Nicknamed New Orleans Witches Row, this three-block shopping district includes Cottage Magick, Crescent City Conjure, Hex, Intuitions, Omen, and Sassy Magick.

St. Roch Market
St. Roch Market

The St. Roch Market is a building on the median of St. Roch Avenue facing St. Claude Avenue in New Orleans. It was built in 1875, with extensive renovations in 1937-1938 and 2012-2015. The ancestor of what became the St. Roch Market was a city market originally constructed in 1838 in the "New Marigny" neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana, United States, as an open-air market on Washington Avenue (later renamed St Roch Avenue). The neighborhood itself was originally called the "New Marigny", an extension of the slightly older Faubourg Marigny neighborhood on the other side of St. Claude Avenue. After a yellow fever epidemic in the early 1870s in which many neighborhood residents survived, the street, neighborhood, and the market itself was renamed as the St. Roch neighborhood after Saint Roch for the saint's patronage of incurable diseases and lost causes. The building itself has been renovated several times. In 1875, the current building was constructed and the market renamed the St Roch Market (post epidemic). It was next renovated and enclosed after World War I. Then in the 1930s through the Works Progress Administration, the building was once again restored and extensively remodeled. Up until the 1950s the market had been a multi-vendor market selling fresh produce, prepared foods, butchered items, and sundries of all varieties. After World War II, it was renovated to again and became the popular Lama's Supermarket, predominantly known for seafood and plate meals. In the 1990s it had fallen into disrepair, but was still an active part of the neighborhood. For a time it housed a Chinese food restaurant. In 2005 it was serving inexpensive seafood and po-boy sandwiches until the evacuation of the city for Hurricane Katrina. Like most of the city it was damaged in the hurricane and extensive Federal levee failure floods that followed, and the market did not reopen. In the 10 years that followed Katrina the building was gutted but sat vacant until 2012, when the city of New Orleans, under Mayor Mitch Landrieu began a campaign to obtain state and federal funding to restore the building. In August 2014 the city leased the building to a private business who returned the building to a multi-tenant "food hall" which is a modernization of the building's original use selling both prepared and fresh foods in a multi-vendor format.Now, the St. Roch Market is a southern food hall featuring a diverse lineup of food and beverage purveyors.
