NOTES: The Moresque Building, built for J. O. Barelli, was the largest, and perhaps finest, cast-iron building in New Orleans as well as one of the most ornate commercial buildings in the United States. It was built to house rental stores and a hall and rooms for concerts. It was destroyed by fire in 1897.
