In this 1941 view of West
End (looking toward the city) we see the U.S. Army base hospital and LaGarde General Hospital in the left background. Note
the New Basin canal on the right. The building in the foreground would later become "Bart's" owned by Sherwood "Big
Wheel" Bart. Compare this view to the 1937 nighttime photograph on page 100. (Courtesy Henry Harmison and the New Orleans
