The plates illustrate the Greek orders in close detail, as well as frontispieces, porticoes, door, windows, cornices, stairs and various elements of carpentry and construction, and concludes with a complete plan of a church. Plate VII illustrates an order of Benjamin's invention that does not conform to any existing classical model, reasoning that "more than one half of all the columns and entablatures erected in country situations, for either internal or external finishings, belong neither to the Grecian nor Roman system."

New Orleans architecture as it was, is, and should be. A stunning presentation of 19th-century gouache and watercolor archival paintings of New Orleans neighborhoods, this volume presents what old, renovated, restored, and new buildings not only might look like, but how they should look. An educational tool, architectural pattern book, city planner's handbook, and visual treasure, this resource invites its readers to study the footprints of the city's original edifices in order to rebuild and restore with authenticity. Examples of each New Orleans house type, historic plans for each house, and contemporary adaptive-use floor plans are highlighted.
