PONTALBA BUILDINGS
2 very modern buildings that border Jackson Square, with shops on the first floor and apartments on the first floor.
The two buildings that border Jackson Square were built in the 1840s by Baroness Micaela Almonester Pontalba (1795-1874). This wealthy heiress and great lover of Paris undertook the construction of buildings that reminded her of the French capital. She designed the plans herself and oversaw their construction. She then had the square built in the center of the square. Very modern for the time, these red brick buildings with slate roofs housed shops on the first floor and apartments on the upper floor.
