Description
This photo was taken in New Orleans, Louisiana. Located at 915 Royal Street, the Cornstalk Hotel was built in the early 19th century as the home of of Francois Xavier Martin, who was the first Attorney General of State of Louisiana, as well as a longtime Justice of the Louisiana Supreme Court.
The famous cornstalk fence, from which the current hotel takes its name, was a later addition. In 1840 a new owner moved to the property, and in order to appease his wife, who was originally from Iowa, he commissioned a new fence that was reminiscence of the corn fields where she grew up.
