French Quarter Square Number
613

Please watch this space for more information in the future

SQ613 = VCS BLOCK #52

     Part of the area under this square was first surveyed by Carlos (Charles) Trudeau on June 24, 1792 for governor Carondelet. The baron granted lots of land just inside the old city fortifications to veterans, widows and other citizens of the province. The irregular lot lines in the center of the square reflect the inside line of these ramparts.

     When Louisiana was purchased by the United States, land under the old ramparts became property of the federal government. By 1803 the fortifications had mostly settled back into the earth.

     On March 3, 1807 an act of Congress handed the land over to the newly incorporated city. The ancient fortifications were leveled, the moat was filled in and James Tanesse was hired to survey the new squares before they were sold by the city.

This Square is bounded by: 1300 Block of ROYAL St.; 600 Block of ESPLANADE AVE.; 1300 Block of CHARTRES St.; 600 Block of BARRACKS St.
