No change: blue. This fine cottage and detached, 2-story kitchen were constructed c. 1810 for Jose Antonio La Rionda. Their typical, early 19th-century detailing includes beaded board shutters (hung with strap-hinges), an abat-vent, molded cornice, center chimney and rear cabinet arches. Obviously, the original tile roofs on both cottage and kitchen have been demolished. This property was noted on the 1896 Sanborn map as a "negro day and night school," or the building which housed Professor Medard Nelson's School, which was said to be the first mixed school in New Orleans. Restored in 1939 by architect Chester Wicker, the cottage now is a city property, known as Cabrini Doll Museum.
