Notes: Taken presumably near the parsonage after the September 1915 hurricane that struck New Orleans. The back of the photograph says: "Survivors of the Storm." By today's standards, it was a Category 4 hurricane and caused severe damage to St. Paul Lutheran Church, including demolishing its steeple, replaced by the one there today.
Date: September 1915.
