While driving to Florida, my friends and I stopped in New Orleans, Louisiana. During our stop, we stayed at an old fashioned hotel just outside the French Quarter.

The Old No.77 Hotel has many historic features designed in its framework. From the style of the exposed brick to the open pipes on the ceiling, the atmosphere was designed to portray the older days. The hallways were narrow and the elevator barely worked. To find out the history behind the building made sense of the design of it. According to its website, the building was originally a coffee warehouse and used for traded goods. The refurbished design was to still provide the feeling of what it was back then.

Learning about the history of the Old No. 77 Hotel made me appreciate the older imperfections so much more. Looking back, this building gave me a memory of an adventure, reminding me of the spontaneous trips my friends and I would always take.
