Featured PRC Property For Sale, 6215 Dauphine St.

This property was once a three bay, raised, single shotgun house with a side gallery.  Post Katrina the house had collapsed, the piers giving way below it. The house was too far gone for a simple rehabilitation. The solution was to construct a new building from the wreckage of the old.  John Wettermark of Wettermark + Keiffer Architects led the project, producing the construction documents for this new construction/reconstruction. The new building’s design was inspired by the existing structure, taking the form of single shotgun with a side gallery.  As much salvaged material as possible from the old house was integrated into the new building.  This is best seen in the side gallery which features salvaged tongue and groove wood with its original patina.  Salvaged French doors line the side gallery, and salvaged exterior wood panel doors and double hung wood windows were also included.
