The Laurel Valley Plantation Photographs
of Philip M. Denman.
September 14,
2018 – June 14, 2019.
Showcasing the nearly
40-year photographic coverage of Laurel Valley Plantation in Thibodaux,
Louisiana by Philip Marin Denman. The journey began in 1978 documenting the
more than 100 buildings dating from the 1830s—ca.1900. Denman returned in 2005 to
record the condition of the plantation 27 years later, and again in 2017 to
photograph the 55 or so remaining structures. The striking b/w images are
enhanced by a small number of color prints. The exhibit includes Denman’s
capture of life in New Orleans’ French Quarter in the late-1960s to
early-1970s, and his images of the remains of Seven Oaks Plantation in
Westwego, Louisiana before its demolition in 1977. Special thanks to John Stubbs, Director, Master of Preservation Studies Program and Senior Professor of Practice, Tulane School of Architecture, for writing the exhibit foreword.

Jr. Fund of the Southeastern Architectural Archive.
