Description

New Orleans in the 1890s: Canal Street from the Clay Monument.

View is looking lakewards (away from the Mississippi River) from Canal Street's intersection with St. Charles Avenue & Royal Street. Photo taken from the "Clay monument" mentioned but not seen is shown, a statue of Henry Clay; see Category:Henry Clay Statue on Canal Street, New Orleans. Carriages seen along street and streetcars on the neutral ground. The streetcars appear to be all mule cars as no electric cantary is seen; thus the scene would predate the start of electrification of the line c. late 1894. The photo is no earlier than 1890, however, from the presence of the Chess, Checkers & Whist Club Building (the building with the distinctive corner cupola at seen at left) at the uptown lake corner of Canal & Barrone.
Date Not dated. c. 1890 - 1894
