Foundation for a House on S. Cortez St.

They've finished driving the piles, so now we wait for a framing contractor to build the first floor platform.

Iceberg House, again.

Another view of the iceberg house in the former vacant lot.

Iceberg House.

This house has just been painted all-white and it looks like a big, giant iceberg. With a black roof on top, HAHAHA.

Corner S Cortex & Baudin. Used to be a vacant lot.

The Houses in the Lot Across the Way Are Being Painted.

The first has a grey-and-white finish.

 

 

The second one is just being started.

A House Comes Down on S Cortez St

A house was torn down at 416 S Cortez St in New Orleans yesterday, January 9, 2015. The company responsible, Demo Diva, did an excellent job. No debris in the street or in neighbors' yards! :^)

View from across the street.

Close-up.



Apparently, the house was too frail to be renovated. Plus, it had some bad remodeling done to it. Maybe the foundation was weakened. Termites? Or activities associated with the new construction going up at the corner of S Cortez and Baudin Streets?
