Binding: paperback

Description: The St. Louis Cathedral is one of New Orleans' most notable ì landmarks. This venerable building, its triple steeples towering ì above its historic neighbors - the Cabildo and the Presbytere - ì looks down benignly on the green of the square and General Andrew ì Jackson on his bronze horse and on the block-long Pontalba with ì their lacy ironwork galleries. Truly, this is the heart of New ì Orleans. Since 1727 New Orleanians have worshipped in churches on ì the site. Half a dozen years earlier, the French engineer, Adrien ì De Pauger, who arrived in the newly founded city on March 2, ì 1721, designated this site for a church in conformity with the ì plan of the Engineer-in-Chief of Louisiana, LeBlond de la Tour, ì who was at the capital, Biloxi.
