The branch is located close to Audubon Zoo, on St. Charles in uptown New Orleans. Was undergoing repairs at time of Waymarking. The former Issacs or Williams Mansion was built in 1907 and is listed on the National Register of Historic Places (in 1976). Great more information about the history of this house is located at the State of Louisiana Register website, located here. In 1948 the house was sold to Harry Latter, a prominent real estate broker, and he gave the
house to the city for use as a library as a memorial to his son, Milton H. Latter, who was killed during
the Second World War. The Latters also provided for the renovation of the building, which has
continued in Library use until the present time.
