Do you have an photos of Carrollton Gardens? I’m doing a book on bands in N. O.l and Jaeger’s band and others played in Carrollton Gardens. Thanks, Karl Koenig
I don’t have any photos, but Lake Douglas included an engraving of the gardens from c.1889 in his chapter titled “Pleasure Gardens in Nineteenth-Century New Orleans” in The Pleasure Garden, from Vauxhall to Coney Island.
