Balconies and overhangs of lacy black wrought iron enhance the 6-story facade of the Omni Royal Orleans, one of the most historic hotels in the famed French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana, USA. Such ornamental ironworks are hallmarks of the city's varied architecture, including the Renaissance Revival style shown here. Additional guestroom balconies of wrought iron have been added since this photograph was taken in 1984. Once known as the St. Louis, the current hotel was built in 1960 to replace earlier grand lodgings dating as far back as 1843 that were destroyed by fire and a hurricane.
