| McDonogh No. 16 School, Bourbon Street, early 1900's |
| McDonogh No. 17 School, Bienville Street, bet. Prieur and N. Johnson |
| McDonogh No. 19 School, 5900 St. Claude Avenue, ca. 1930; below, current photo of same building. |
| Above is described as McDonogh No. 18 School, located between St. Louis and Toulouse Streets. The picture below is of McDonogh No. 18 on St. Ann Street. Since both locations are in the French Quarter, could the above have been the original No. 18 and the below the "new" No. 18 (constructed in the early 1900's)? For more info on No. 18 on St. Ann Street, see link at bottom of page. Photo below is thanks to Larie Tedesco. |
| McDonogh No. 19 School, Douglas and Tricou Streets, above, ca. 1890's. Photo directly below: I found the above building still standing. I wasn't sure where Douglas and Tricou Streets were, so I did a search in Google Earth and found the old building still there -- abandoned and considerably the worse for wear. Very few of the original McDonogh buildings have survived and I was surprised to see this one, especially when I realized that it was located in a section of the Holy Cross neighborhood badly flooded during the levee failures. See photos below this one for the second McDonogh 19 building. |
| McDonogh No. 20 School, Jackson Avenue and Freret Street |
| McDonogh No. 22 School, Jackson Avenue and Chippawa Street; served as high school prior to 1887. |
| McDonogh No. 23 School - this building served as the old Carrollton Courthouse from 1855-1874, before Carrollton was annexed by the city of N.O.; it served as McDonogh No. 23 from 1889-1950; several years later, it was served as Ben Franklin School until 1990, when they required more space and moved to the campus of UNO on the lakefront. It is now Audubon Charter School, a New Orleans public school. Photo below is current. For more vintage photos of this school, see link at bottom of page. |
