Thank you for taking the Garden District Tour with me! I am delighted to hear that you felt our tour was both fun and educational. Architecture doesn't have to be stuffy - the houses are beautiful and they tell the story of the city. It's all here - materials available, climate, aesthetics, building tech... so much can be learned from architecture. Thanks for leaving this fantastic review and we will see you next time!
