Behind the street-facing walls of Toulouse Street, in the French Quarter, lies a courtyard of the kind that defined New Orleans domestic life for generations. Around 1925, when this photograph was likely taken, such patios were typically enclosed by brick walls, shaded by galleries and climbing plants, and furnished with iron work and potted greenery.
