Armstrong-Danna House 1868 New Orleans,LA

The Armstrong Danna House, 2805 Carondelet St

The Armstrong Danna House, 2805 Carondelet St.: This outstanding Italianate-style mansion is listed by the city as a local landmark with the highest possible rating. However, it has suffered from neglect for many years and is in desperate need of care, the society said. The masonry needs tuckpointing, cracks are showing between the first- and second-story windows, the upper and lower gallery floors are cupping, the shutters are rotting, the ironwork needs reconditioning, the foundation needs careful attention and some historic architectural components are missing.
