Canal Street at top right, Rio Theater at bottom left, Walt Coleman’s pool hall (now, 2014, the Shipwatch Inn) at bottom middle, Postell’s soda shop and newsstand and Shine Crawford’s Gulf station (both at bottom right). Can you identify any other historic buildings? Circa 1960.

Canal view with Canal Street at top and the Basin at bottom. Note Corps of Engineers’ buildings at middle and Sisters’ orphanage & barn at very top, looking north, circa 1962.

Wide view of Canal Street from the Hollow to the Reynolds’ property. The large, white, square building was the Pryor property (Tyler Hotel at one time).
