The Uptown neighb

orhood is filled with tree-lined streets, stately oaks, 127 acre AUDUBON PARK, several universities and private schools and an avenue where one stately mansion after another vie for a visitor's attention. Houses are generally older and historic with Victorian cottages, doubles and duplexes. The Uptown area was the last along the natural levee between the City of Carrollton and New Orleans
to be developed. It contains portions of six plantations: Rickerville, Hurtsville, Burthe, Foucher, Bloomingdale and Greenville. Some of these former plantation titles made it as the names of streets throughout the neighborhood. Although the plantations were subdivided as early as 1832, it wasn't until around 1860 that any residences were built. In this "new" area of town, considered a large suburb in the late 1800s, large homes were built predominately of the raised villa type in the Italianate style usually along St. Later, shotgun cottages were constructed along the side streets and the neighborhood was well developed. More on AUDUBON PARK,
fronting along St. Charles Avenue across from Tulane and Loyola Universities, is on a part of the Foucher plantation where Etienne de Bore first successfully granulated sugar. Its plan was mapped out by John Olmsted, whose father had designed New York's Central Park. It was the site of the World's Cotton Exposition (from which Exposition, fronting on the park, derived its name) in 1884. Charles Avenue, where one of the two streetcar lines in the city runs, are a number of architecturally interesting buildings.
