| During the pandemic, a black and white single shotgun was drawn by Architect And Borden and featured on the Junior League of New Orleans social media accounts during this time. The intent was to encourage and teach about the history of the New Orleans shotgun and issuing it as a color sheet for enjoyment by future architects.
Shotgun Homes are considered the most well known and prevalent buildings constructed in New Orleans between 1830s-1950s. Their design responded to the hot and humid climate of the area, as well as the materials and technology available during its time. This single shotgun has a shuttered front door and window, a hipped overhang protects the front entrance in front of a gabled roof. A single shotgun’s width equals the width of a room, and was three to five rooms deep.
