Lulu White's Mahogany Hall, Storyville |
I believe this was Josie Arlington's place, Basin Street, Storyville |
In 1950, Life magazine did a photographic essay entitled, "New Orleans Jazz Scenes," featuring buildings that were important in the history of Jazz. Unfortunately, none of the photos had captions. I've found a few of these, if you can identify any of the rest, please let me know. -- Nancy |
