Loyola and Tulane are two architecturally diverse universities that line St. Charles Avenue in this historic section. The architecture of this area ranges from the Gothic universities to the grand mansions that also line St. Charles Avenue to the modest shotgun homes and cottages scattered around the perimeter of the section.The New Orleans Architecture Series (see page 21) celebrated its 25th anniversary in 1996. From the beginning, the Friends of the Cabildo have had as their mission to promote history and to establish and protect New Orleans architecture and make it the best documented in the entire United States.
