Carondelet Street is a major street inNew Orleans. It is one-way eastbound. It starts at Robert Street in theUptown neighborhood and continues to Josephine Street. One must turn left at this point, and then right. Carondelet continues up toCanal Street.
Crossing Canal Street, the name changes toBourbon Street, which extends to Kerlerec Street just outside theFrench Quarter.
The street was named for Spanish colonial governorFrancisco Luis Héctor de Carondelet, whose administration was in the 1790s. During the 19th century, the section of Carondelet Street nearCanal Street was known as a center of thecotton trade in New Orleans.[1] Further uptown, Carondelet Street was the location for many of the city's Jewish institutions, including the historic synagogueAnshe Sfard which is still located there.[2] The originalTemple Sinai building was located on the street before being demolished over the objections of preservationists in 1977.
The 3600 block of the street, in theMilan district, has been described as "one of the most striking blocks in the city", with three landmark houses including the Bullitt-Longenecker House (also known as the "Swiss Villa"), which islisted in theNational Register of Historic Places.[3]
