Raimond Gaillard

free man of color and veteran of the Battle of New Orleans,

had this cottage built in 1824. A prosperous businessman, Gaillard owned several other pieces of property in this square until 1861.

Behind the cottage in the courtyard are a pair of two-story buildings, kitchens, and servants quarters, all restored by the artist Boyd Cruise, who painted the murals in the Royal Orleans Hotel. The bricks should be plastered.
