1924 Capuchin Monastery Interior with Confederate Gun New Orleans Louisiana

Step into a quiet moment of history with this vintage postcard depicting the interior of the Capuchin Monastery in New Orleans, originally sketched by G. F. Castleden in 1924. Rendered in a richly detailed cross-hatch style, the image reveals a Confederate gun positioned near an arched entrance, quietly guarding a space once central to the city’s Spanish colonial religious life.

The monastery stood as a spiritual heart during New Orleans’ early days, and local lore whispers of an underground passage connecting it to the Calaboose, just across from the Cathedral. This scene captures both the solemnity and the layered stories of a city where faith, conflict, and mystery intertwine. Artist Signed G.F. Castleden.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
