The New Orleans Historic District Landmarks Commission (NOHDLC), St. Charles Avenue Historic District and the Lower Garden District were created along with the passage of Ordinance #5992 M.C.S. in the summer of 1976.
To mark this milestone, the New Orleans Public Library City Archives & Special Collections takes a look at the history of the HDLC, its formation, growth, and work protecting New Orleans’ architectural history via their collection of HDLC archival material.
Check out the link here: The Historic District Landmarks Commission - City Archives & Special Collections. Please join us for an Open House to celebrate 50 years of protecting New Orleans architectural history on September 18, 2026.
Special thanks to Brittanny Silva and Christina Bryant of the New Orleans Public Library for their assistance with this project.
