First off, Fort Pike located at Pass Rigolets. It was built in the early 1800’s during the Seminole, Mexican, and Civil Wars. Today, you can see the damage from its exteriors and interiors due to war as well as recent deadly hurricanes—making it more endangered to face demolition. Next is the Marsoudet-Caruso House, which was built in 1846 originally as a center-hall cottage. It was owned by Mrs. Eliza Ducros Marsoudet. This was also purchased by Saint Anna’s Episcopal Church in 2010 in order to save the property from being demolished, as well as expand church’s outreach program. Unfortunately, the church is currently having some financial problems, which is why this historical house is threatened to be demolished due to deterioration. Next is Touro Shakespeare Home. Yes, that’s Shakespeare, but not the one you know from the famous writer. The house was constructed in 1933 originally as a municipal almshouse. It is a combination of Neo-classical and Jacobethan revival styles by William Burk. It is famous for its diamond-shaped polychrome bricks and its symmetrical massing. It was named after a great philanthropist Judah Touro and a former mayor Joseph Shakespeare. Again, due to Hurricane Katrina, it was greatly damaged. And because of neglect, its deterioration has become more evident and visible.Photo Zebpikesm is licensed under Public domain
