From the New Orleans Jazz History Decatur Street/ Vieux Carre Walking Tour brochure: “Originally the fashionable Ursuline Row designed by Gurlie and Guillot c.1831, the Decatur St. nightclub area came about because of the French Market, the demise of the Gallatin St. district, the derelict nature of the lower French Quarter in the early 1900s, and the closeness to the wharves. By the 1930’s the street had many bars and small dance halls with jazz bands. This club was one of that number.”
