Description
Another New Orleans jazz landmark is gone.
Perseverance Hall in the Seventh Ward collapsed earlier this week.
Thursday, Floyd DeGrange snapped a few final pictures of what’s left of the historic building on North Villere.
He called the loss a tragedy.
“I wish I had the money to refurbish it and have it for historical significance, because this is a big part of what New Orleans is all about,” DeGrange said. “I hate to see it go down for the count like this.”
This is one of the venues where jazz was born.
