Historic Preservation Hall, at 726 St. Peter Street in New Orleans, is like an old cornet blown by a master. Pretty it's not -- but it is beautiful when judged by the superb sounds coming from it every night.
Preservationis an idea more than a structure -- the building needs painting, floor boards are loose, the seats for listeners are old benches, loose cushions and odd kitchen chairs. The same icker basket which held donations in the early days of the hall is still in use.
