Colored Waif’s Home, New Orleans · unknown access
Colored Waif’s Home, New Orleans
Site of the Colored Waif’s Home, 431 City Park Avenue
Current site identity, survival and access remain under research.
Inherited access advice: The site only: a later building stands here. Look from the street. Reconfirm before visiting.
WWOZ’s curated account identifies the historic Waifs Home site at 431 City Park Avenue and distinguishes the replacement structure from the later Milne institution in Gentilly.
Colored Waif’s Home, New Orleans is the associated documentary geography for Learning the cornet.
Evidence and coordinate precision
site position, inherited from its subject package. Current state: unknown.
Karnofsky shop/residence site — 427 South Rampart · public access
Karnofsky shop/residence site — 427 South Rampart
427 South Rampart Street, New Orleans
Reconstruction completed in 2025 according to the project architect. Older empty-lot descriptions are not current-state evidence.
Inherited access advice: Seen from the pavement on South Rampart Street. The building collapsed in 2021; respect any site fencing. Reconfirm before visiting.
Inherited access advice: Daily 9am to 5pm; adults $37. Closed on Mardi Gras Day, Thanksgiving, Christmas Eve and Christmas Day. Reconfirm before visiting.
J&M Recording Studio, North Rampart Street · public access
J&M Recording Studio, North Rampart Street
838 North Rampart Street, New Orleans
Described in the place’s facts.
Inherited access advice: A working laundromat now: see the J&M floor at the door and the displays inside during opening hours. Reconfirm before visiting.
Cosimo Matassa put recording equipment in the back of the J&M Music Shop, on the corner of Rampart and Dumaine, in 1946.
Cooke’s first pop session, in the winter of 1956, was in the New Orleans studio where Bumps Blackwell had recorded Little Richard.
In 1956 Matassa moved his studio to 523 Governor Nicholls Street.
The Rampart Street building is a city and state landmark; it is a laundromat now, with photographs and displays of its history, and the J&M floor still at the door.
Evidence and coordinate precision
building position, inherited from its subject package. Current state: changed.
Inherited access advice: Closed to the public: the state owns the ruin and treats it as unsafe. Look from the water; Fort Pike, nearby, is the fort you can learn about. Reconfirm before visiting.
Fort Macomb, east of New Orleans, is where Carcosa was filmed. It is closed to the public.
The final chase was shot here. Alex DiGerlando’s design team broke the roughly circular fort up into a maze, with more than 3,000 pieces of driftwood from the banks of the Mississippi and extra vines outside.
The innermost chamber was never in the fort: it was built on a stage, and the opening in its roof was added digitally.
Evidence and coordinate precision
site position, inherited from its subject package. Current state: changed.
One record per explicitly reconciled site, with its separate cultural connections. The map starts with sites that have reviewed public visiting conditions. The research view also shows verified approximate site references with restricted or unconfirmed access; these records have no public subject destinations. Only individually reviewed, licensed imagery appears. Unresolved geography remains searchable.
