[Orange. D.H Holmes/Chateau Bourbon. 3-bay, 4-story brick commercial structure, 1913, Favrot and Livaudais, designers. The current structure replaced two mid-nineteenth century buildings, including a 4-bay, 3-story brick commercial structure (815 Canal) and the 3-bay, 4-story Gothic brick building which was built by Charles Pride for the D.H. Holmes Department Store (817-819 Canal). In fact, a D.H. Holmes store operated on the site from 1849 until 1989. A 1940s/1950s photograph owned by Miss Rose Lambert depicts the new, joint-structure with a first-floor awning and a heavily dentilated cornice. Both items were removed no later than April 1964. The building was renovated in the fall of 1964, and major changes were made to its upper-level facade at the time. A vertical brick banding was attached to the structure's two sides, the upper-story windows were removed and an iron balcony was attached at the second floor-level. The structure's façade has since reverted back to its early 20th century architectural style. In 1996, the Chateau Sonesta Hotel (now the Chateau Bourbon) took over the existing building.] [N.B: At the time that the VCS chains of title were abstracted, the building sat on the two separate lots of 815 Canal (Lot 11374 5) and 817-819 Canal (Lot 11374 A).] [Squares in the 100 block of the French Quarter (those that front Canal Street and back on Iberville Street) are not part of the original Vieux Carré and have never been evaluated by the Vieux Carré Commission. Rather, their historical status is the domain of another city agency, the Historic District Landmarks Commission (HDLC).] [The c. 1965, color-coded architectural evaluation square maps for these squares found in the VCS binders were most likely executed by architect Sam Wilson, but they are obviously not official, as the HDLC was not even in existence then. The official color ratings given here have been taken from the HDLC's current maps.]
