New Orleans at Night

The top postcard was sent in the 1930s. On the back, it reads-

One of the most attractive courtyards in the romantic Vieux Catre is located at 520 Royal Street. It was formerly the town home of the Brulatour family. Many artists have sketched this famous courtyard.

The bottom card reads-

Canal Street, so named because in olden days a big drainage canal ran down its center, recently rebuilt at a cost of $3,500,000, is 170 feet wide, one of the widest central business thoroughfares in the world, has sidewalks of terrazzo marble and neutral grounds. It marks the upper limits of the old city.
