Vintage Vieux Carre Picture On 175 Year Old Roofing Slate. Picture of Orleans St. In good vintage condition. Measures 6" tall x 5.25" wide and has a brown suede leather cord attached for hanging. The back has a printed paper that reads: Roofing slates mined in Pennsylvania and transported down the Ohio and Mississippi Rivers on rafts became the roofing material after the disastrous fire of 1795. Each one was individually hand shaped. This one came from an old building on Chartres Street, dating back to the early 1800's. The paper is yellowed, but I am unsure if it was made this way or happened over time. Still has the Vieux Carre' label on the bottom corner! Clean and smoke free.
