From the New Orleans Jazz History Business District/Back o’ Town Walking Tour brochure: 932 Lafayette Street: “TurnersÕ Hall dates from 1868 and was designed for the Society of Turners by architect William Thiel. This charitable, mostly German-American group supported an educational program and sponsored art, music, and dancing. The facility was later operated by Tulane University and dances were held in its large gymnasium.”
