In February 1834, French-born architect Jacques Nicolas Bussière de Pouilly began to record his most daring ideas for New Orleans. For more than 40 years, he filled a 400-page sketchbook with visionary designs for houses, public buildings, and tombs—proposals so avant-garde that very few clients dared to build them. Had they been more adventurous, New Orleans might look radically different today. Though de Pouilly’s name has faded and most of his built designs are gone—save for the iconic St. Louis Cathedral—his work lives on in his sketchbook of remarkable drawings, held at HNOC.
In this lecture, presented by the Louisiana Landmarks Society and hosted by HNOC, architectural historian Ann M. Masson will lead a tour through de Pouilly’s imagination, revealing bold ideas that never came to be.
Admission is free, with registration required. A reception offering light refreshments will follow the lecture.
