The Cresson Family Tomb in St. Louis No. 3
Whenever someone uses the word "original" in conjunction with New Orleans, they're usually referring to the French Quarter, the original part of the city. The cemeteries that serviced the Vieux Carre' were not located within the confines of the Quarter, of course (cemeteries are almost always built on the outskirts of town), but in Faubourg Treme, just north of the original northern wall that is now N. Rampart St. St. Louis Number Two is located a few blocks behind Number One, on Conti and Claiborne. St. Louis Number Three is over on Esplanade, near Bayou St. John. The Mortuary Chapel, now Our Lady of Guadalupe Church, is on Conti Street and N. Rampart (one block from St. Louis Number One).
