New Orleans Garden District: Profiles in Preservation | Andrea St. Paul Bland + Sally Reeves Moderated by: Howard Hunter

The New Orleans Garden District is more than a collection of historic homes. It is a living record of architecture, memory, and stewardship. Andrea St. Paul Bland and Sally Reeves share the stories behind the neighborhood’s iconic residences and the people who have protected them across generations. In conversation with Howard Hunter, they explore preservation as both practice and responsibility, examining how restoration, research, and community care keep the city’s past present in everyday life. The New Orleans Book Festival brings the world’s leading authors to Tulane University for a multi-day celebration of their works. The Festival features both fiction and non-fiction and convenes readings, panel discussions, symposia and keynote speeches. It provides an opportunity for outlets, authors and readers to interact with each other in one of the most vibrant and culturally diverse cities in the world.
