You may ask why we are including these entries for the Lower Ninth Ward, for homes lacking architectural significance. I just want to remind readers that we want to do our best to include a cross-section of demolitions as a matter of documentation. For some of the lower-ninth ward owners, these properties remained in the family since emancipation. Brian Denzer, did a great interview with some residents from the lower ninth at a recent planning congress.

If you own property in the Lower Nine, you might want to go out regularly and re-spray your address on the street because those done months ago are no longer visible. There are less and less actual structures out there as the weeks pass, it’s getting harder for me to verify addresses. Even if you have a slab, I would advise keeping it clearly marked in case you need to send representatives from the various agencies to your property.
