Mark Schroeder’s A Streetcar Named Maison Blanche

What inspires Mark Schroeder, Architect, about New Orleans is obvious in his streetcar creation: a triple-decker Mardi Gras float. “A Streetcar Named Maison Blanche” is sponsored by and located in front of the Ritz-Carlton, New Orleans hotel at 921 Canal Street. Schroeder has transformed the car into a massive float that resembles the historic building the Ritz-Carlton houses, the former Maison Blanche building, with, by my count, 94 riders per side.

    Great work Mark. I recently saw some of your work hanging in Ochsner Hospital – specifically, New Orleans CBD at Noon.

    I love seeing the city the way you do – clean, crisp colors, sans blight.

    I Enjoy your work.
