Halfway Station location
This block was home to the halfway station of the New Orleans & Carrollton Railroad Company chartered February 9, 1833. Mules were changed over at the stables located here on the long journey from Canal St. to Carrollton Ave. Mule power gave way t0 electric power in the late 1890s as the N.O. & C.R.R. Co. developed into the streetcar system of today.
