“Whether you live in New Orleans, used to live here, or have only ever admired us from afar, you're certainly welcome here,” says the description of this friendly and inspiring Facebook group powered by historical architecture and wonders of New Orleans.
Titled “Historic New Orleans Homes,” the group is home to 77k members joined by this “upbeat place for the appreciation and discussion of historic homes and architecture in the New Orleans area.”
The group was founded by Craig Ernst, a sixth-generation New Orleanian who grew up in Lakeview and an experienced, full-time realtor whose special expertise is in New Orleans' historic homes and neighborhoods. So the group is undoubtedly a gem hidden in plain sight on Facebook!
