The two towers flanking the Gentilly Avenue entrance to the New Orleans Fair Grounds were built in 1860 by the Mechanics and Agriculturalists' Fair Association of Louisiana for its 1861 horse racing season, but the War Between the States broke up those plans.

I'm surprised they didn't call it the "War of Northern Aggression."

Seriously, cool photos. Thanks for posting.
