  • Preservation Resource Center Shotgun Houses poster.  Decorate your home with a poster of 20 great New Orleans shotguns from across the city. Approx 18 " x 24".

  • SIGNED New Orleans- Life in an Epic City book.  This 104-page small, hardcover book of photos and quotes is a legacy of life in New Orleans' historic neighborhoods between two American catastrophes, September 11, 2001, and Hurricane Katrina, August 29, 2005. In simple words and poignant pictures, this book reveals what it means to live in New Orleans. It is an amazing organic document of times lost, hopefully to be found again.
  • SIGNED New Orleans' Favorite Shotguns book.  As a companion volume to New Orleans: Life in an Epic City, this new publication continues to explore the cultural dynamics of the city’s historic neighborhoods. Shotgun houses and neighborhoods have an exceptional power to evoke stories and emotional memories. The 130 images by 55 photographers present an experience common to almost all New Orleanians – family, friends, and life centered in a shotgun house. More than 50 narrators share their bonds with the house as children, students, renters, owners and caretakers. This is us. This is how we lived in the past, live today, and – at its best – hope to live in the future. 
  • Vibrant hanging sculpture by local artist, Tamar Taylor featuring a detailed purple shotgun house.  Approx. 8" x 12".  Plaster and watercolor.
  • Gift Certificate for two (2) to the Historic New Orleans Collection located in the French Quarter.
  • Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans DVD  Faubourg Tremé: The Untold Story of Black New Orleans is a riveting tale of hope, heartbreak and resiliency set in New Orleans' most fascinating neighborhood. Shot largely before Hurricane Katrina and edited afterwards, the film is both celebratory and elegiac in tone.
  • Two admissions to the Romantic, Historic Beauregard-Keyes House.
