1900s jazz saloon near Black Storyville: north corner of Poydras & S. Rampart: 449 S. Rampart Street: From the New Orleans Jazz History Business District/Back o’ Town Walking Tour brochure: “This prominent corner also later housed Pete’s Blue Heaven Lounge and was often both a starting and ending place for Zulu Social Aid and Pleasure Club funerals.” From littlegemsaloon.com: “Jazz historians have long considered the 400 block of South Rampart Street the birthplace of jazz. The Little Gem Saloon was first opened in 1903, taking its place among other jazz clubs that have long been lost to the past including The Eagle Saloon and the Iroquois Theater. No other single location is more significant to the founding and evolution of jazz than this one. During its time the Little Gem Saloon served as a popular watering hole for early jazz legends like Buddy Bolden, Freddie Keppard and Jelly Roll Morton until closing its doors in 1909. Little Gem Saloon is a historic restaurant and live music venue that dates back to 1904 when the early progenitors of Jazz like Jelly Roll Morton and Buddy Bolden performed at Frank Douroux’s Little Gem Saloon in the historic ‘Back O’ Town’ neighborhood that borders the infamous Storyville red-light district. As Jazz became one of New Orleans greatest exports, the 400 block of S. Rampart, also known as ‘The Ramp’, was a teeming commercial district that included the Karnofsky Tailor Shop, where Louis Armstrong reportedly worked in his youth, and numerous Jazz clubs including the legendary Eagle Saloon, and The Iroquois Theatre. Between 1926 and 1949, the building was home to David Pailet’s Loan Office, a combination pawn shop and hang out for musicians and in the 1950Õs, it became PeteÕs Blue Heaven Lounge, an R&B club where members of the Zulu Social Aid & Pleasure Club began and ended members funerals. In the late 50Õs and early 60Õs, in the name of progress, the once thriving district was demolished in order to build a new City Hall, office towers and parking lots. The Little Gem Saloon was boarded up for close to 40 years until it’s rebirth in December 2012.” ...

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.” ...
