Description

Lee Circle, New Orleans. Photo-postcard view from between the World Wars.
In center is the pilar monument with the statue of Robert E. Lee. St. Charles Avenue heading uptown is behind it. The neo-Classical building to the right was the old main branch of the Public Library, built in 1908, since demolished.

To the left the high-rise building is the Bienville Hotel Building, built 1920; the roof was a dance venue with live jazz; Monk Hazel's Bienville Roof Orchestra made recordings in the 1920s. The shorter building in front of it, a private residence that I'm told was an old plantation house before the city expanded to this area. Both of these buildings are still standing as of 2007, the Hotel building most recently apartments and the old house "the Circle Bar".
Date No date printed on card. c. 1920s to 1930s.
