Hurricane Ida destroyed a historic building that was a second home to jazz great Louis Armstrong

The storm flattened the former Karnofsky shop, whose owners hosted trumpeter Louis Armstrong in the early 1900s and even played a role in his musical career.
When Hurricane Ida hit the city Sunday, the storm knocked out power, flattened homes and turned streets into rivers. It also destroyed an old brick building downtown on South Rampart Street, just a few blocks from the French Quarter. The building hadn't looked like much in recent years. It sat empty, marred by graffiti and surrounded by vacant lots.More Related News
