Another view of the now 10 acre Rose Garden, taken in 1937. After WPA work was completed it was the first public classical garden in New Orleans and contained more Art Deco sculptures than any place in the city. Designed by Richard Koch and Landscape Architect William Wiedorn it is used by modern brides who pose in this beautiful space before receiving guests at the Pavilion of the Two Sisters. (NOPL)
