Interiors:
Designs for Louisiana

This online exhibit of drawings and watercolors features interior designs for homes, shops, churches, and offices in Louisiana. Included are works by architects Albert Bendernagel, James Gallier, Sr., Thomas Sully, and James Lamantia; works by interior decorators Harry L. Moses, and John Geiser. The works are a sampling of our holdings and also represent changes that occurred in drawing techniques and styles from the mid-nineteenth through the twentieth centuries. 
This exhibit was created by Kevin Williams.
