Talk:Pitot House

Untitled
Was there any damage to this house due to Hurricane Katrina?
 * Very little. It is on high ground along the natural Bayou St. John levee, and was above the flooding. My photo here on the article is this past October, and as I note the only evident damage was part of the fence being knocked down by wind. As it has since reopened, anything else not visible was evidentally not major. -- Infrogmation 20:31, 6 September 2006 (UTC)

Provenance of Pitot House
Regarding the second paragraph under History: "NOTE: The 1790 in architecture article states that the house was finished in 1790 and was built by Don Santiago Lorreins."

While this information on the Pitot House is in the Wikipedia '1790 in architecture' page, I believe it is incorrect. The house built by Don Santiago Lorreins is(or was) at 1400 Moss Street and is referred to as Fernandez-Tissot House. The Pitot House is at 1440 Moss Street. This link I located explains further why I believe this to be true: http://lcweb2.loc.gov/master/pnp/habshaer/la/la0000/la0062/data/la0062data.pdf
