Holy Cross home ravaged by Ninth Ward flooding. Volunteers from other states chip into help. David Dillard, President of HPNO, explains the restoration plans for 5515 dauphine Street, a Ninth Ward home…

Dillard, a preservation architect, was gratefully chosen by the Preservation Resource Center, a New Orleans Non-Profit, to restore and construct an addition onto the home. “It was a heckuva small house but with the addition; quite livable” Dillard said. Here is a run through of the issues arising during an initial meeting with the out of state volunteers:
-
Refurbish existing windows and doors.
-
Reuse materials where possible.
-
Level floor.
