Charles Laveaux storehouse.
The plastered-brick first floor of this two-story corner
storehouse was built before 1833 for free men of color,
Charles Laveaux, father of the Voodoo
Queen, Marie Laveau [sic]. Laveaux bought the property
directly from Bernard de Marigny in 1817. C. Erne, the
1869 purchaser, added the frame second story and the cast
iron gallery that turns around the corner, like the building,
to follow the bend on the road. |
