Black plaque № 51446

New Orleans, LA, United States

Thomas House. Built in 1827 by John Mitchell and Isaac Lambert for Dr. Pierre Thomas, who acquired the site from the city. The house was remodeled and a new kitchen constructed for Dr. Thomas by Joseph Desjardin in 1844. The Federal-style townhouse remained in the Thomas family until Jean Schweitzer

purchased it in 1867 and operated a book and stationery shop here. The cast iron balcony was likely added by Schweitzer.
