Remains of Old Wooden Building

Weathered wooden structure with exposed metal framing stands amid overgrown grass and weeds, with utility poles and distant buildings visible under a blue sky with scattered clouds.

Photo of the remains of an old wooden building (possibly a cotton press or other agricultural storage structure) along Tchoupitoulas Street, near the wharves. The blue sky, fluffy clouds and overgrown lot make the scene look very rural, but this location is in the middle of the city.
