SQ913 = VCS BLOCK #81

When Louisiana was purchased by the United States the land under the old city ramparts, which still existed at that time, became property of the federal government. By 1803 the fortifications had mostly settled back into the earth.

On March 3, 1807 an act of Congress handed the land over to the newly incorporated city. The ancient earthworks were leveled, the moat was filled in and James Tanesse was hired to survey the new squares before they were sold by the city.

This Square is bounded by: 1300 Block of BURGUNDY St.; 900 Block of ESPLANADE AVE.; 1300 Block of DAUPHINE St.; 900 Block of BARRACKS St.
