The Pitot House on Bayou St. John

Here is another photo interlude from our regular series on Antarctica, Remember Katrina, WW2 Studies, and SVDP-ALC Updates. We do this from time to time so our blog readers and our Antarctica pen pals can get an idea of what some of New Orleans looks like (the part that was not destroyed by the storm).
This is the Pitot House on Bayou St. John which dates from the early 1800's. It was the original home of the first mayor of New Orleans; now it is a small museum.

What is displayed at the Pitot House Museum?

I've never been inside, so I cannot say. I've see the outside many times. It is an old Caribbean-style French Colonial house. There is a plaque about the house near the bayou.
