Lafitte"s Blacksmith Shop Bar at dusk, Bourbon Street, New Orleans French Quarter, New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Lafitte's Blacksmith Shop is an historic structure at corner of Bourbon Street and St. Philip Street in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. Most likely built as a house in the 1770s during the Spanish colonial period, it is one of the oldest surviving structures in New Orleans. According to legend, the privateer Jean Lafitte, aka John Lafitte, owned a business here in the early 19th century. As with many things involving the Lafittes, including the possibility that they used the structure to plot illegal seizures and the sale of contraband, no documentation exists. (It was only after the Lafitte brothers were long gone that Jean's signature was found on a document, finally ascertaining how their family name was spelled: LAFFITE.) The building was declared a National Historic Landmark in 1970. It is a rare extant example of briquette-entre-poteaux construction. Source: Wikipedia
