Shotgun, bang!

I'm crazy about shotgun houses! New Orleans' Favorite Shotguns features antedotes from locals who spent their childhood in the slender buildings along with photos of different architectural styles and colors. It also delves into the origin of these N.O treasures. The book was published last year by the Preservation Resource Center of New Orleans. For more info or to purchase go to http://octaviabooks.booksense.com/NASApp/store/Product?s=showproduct&isbn=9780977316519 . The proceeds go to the to PRC, which helps to perserve historic neighborhoods throughout the Crescent City.
