The space
Our 110-year-old shotgun home is a distinctive architectural style with a rich history, most commonly found in neighborhoods like Mid City.

We recently updated the property with modern amenities, but the traditional layout and architectural features are still very much intact, preserving their historic character.

We have a lovely covered front porch that you can enjoy relaxing on and taking in the sights and sounds of the neighborhood.

Our home is surrounded by the historical cemeteries. The historic cemeteries in the area are a beautiful and serene reflection of the city’s rich history and culture, often referred to as “Cities of the Dead.” They also make for quiet neighbors!
