Historic Buildings: Center for Jesus the Lord
With the exception of the St. Louis Cathedral, buildings of religious function and architecture do not normally come to mind when thinking about the French Quarter. North Rampart Street is home to three such buildings, one of which, located on the corner of N. Rampart and Barracks, is the best example of Gothic Revival architecture in the district.

About Stephen McNair:

Stephen McNair is an architectural historian from the Vieux Carre' Commission. He will periodically write about historic buildings in the city. He says that if you took almost any building in the French Quarter and placed it in another city, that it would become the most interesting building there. Here, he feels that some take N.O.'s unique and historic buildings for granted, so he'll offer his perspective on some of the more and less well known historic buildings in our city.
