The Creole Faubourgs
The fourth volume of the acclaimed series captures in more than 400 photographs and text the distinctive architecture of the six creole faubourgs, or neighborhoods, of the modern city of New Orleans. As in all books in the series, emphasis is placed on historic documentation, with a goal of preserving important structures. Twelve distinct architectural types germane to the faubourgs are defined, identified, and analyzed. Also included is a chapter on the craftsmanship of the many free persons of color who contributed significantly to the city's architecture. Researched by The Friends of the Cabildo, one of the nation's leading preservation organizations, the oversize volume was compiled by Roulhac Toledano, Sally Evans, and Mary Louise Christovich, all of New Orleans. A history of the faubourgs by Samuel Wilson, Jr. is featured as well. The books photographs, both color and black and white, were the work of Betsy Swanson, photographer for the first three volumes of the series.

Building Antebellum New Orleans
The Creole architecture of New Orleans is one of the city’s most-recognized features, but studies of it largely have been focused on architectural typology. In Building Antebellum New Orleans Tara A. Dudley examines the architectural activities and influence of gens de couleur libres—free people of color—in a city where the mixed-race descendants of whites could own property. Between 1820 and 1850 New Orleans became an urban metropolis and industrialized shipping center with a growing population. Amidst dramatic economic and cultural change in the mid-antebellum period, the gens de couleur libres thrived as property owners, developers, building artisans, and patrons. Dudley writes an intimate microhistory of two prominent families of Black developers, the Dollioles and Souliés, to explore how gens de couleur libres used ownership, engagement, and entrepreneurship to construct individual and group identity and stability. With deep archival research, Dudley recreates in fine detail the material culture, business and social history, and politics of the built environment for free people of color and adds new, revelatory information to the canon on New Orleans architecture.
