Notes:

THE FRENCH OPERA HOUSE

The inn on bourbon, on the corner of Tolouse and Bourbon Streets, rests on the site of the Old French Opera House, for 60 years, the cultural center of New Orleans Creole society, and the first opera house in the United States.

Erected in 1859 at a cost of $118,000.00, it was opened to the public on December 1, 1859. The opera house was one of the most famous masterpieces designed by noted architect James Gallier, architect of Gallier Hall and many other classic 18th Century buildings.

I think the sign means 19th Century buildings: Gallier Hall was actually built in the 1840s.
