ElysianFieldsLakefront1941

New Orleans, 1941: "View of Elysian Fields Avenue at the lakefront. Exterior". View looking riverwards, probably taken from the Milneburg Lighthouse, showing results of Works Progress Administration project widening and paving project. (Railroad tracks had run down the neutral ground until about 5 years earlier, and this area was reclaimed from the shallows of Lake Pontchartrain a bit before that.)
