Description

New Orleans, Milneburg. View looking east from the intersection of the L&N railroad tracks and the levee at Milneburg.

Notes: The "L&N" line here was the route established in 1830 as the Pontchartrain Rail-Road. Location of photo now is Elysian Fields Avenue about at Leon C. Simon.

View shows the typical Milneburg "camps", buildings on piers in the shallows of Lake Pontchartrain, connected by docks rather than streets.
Date Dated on photo "3-4-(19)27"
Source Photo marked "OBL" (Orleans Levee Board). Presumably part of the photographic collection started by the Orleans Levee Board which was taken over by the Works Progress Administration when the WPA took over the lakefront reclamation project from the OLB in the 1930s.
