Cruisin' through a New Orleans cemetery
As I always say, a disinternment is like a box of chocolates, you never know what you are gonna get ;)
All kidding aside, I actually found this rather disheartening. In the New Orleans cemeteries, families own their own tombs, and are responsible for their upkeep. As they die off or move away, their tombs fall into disrepair, as this one had. Sadly, it looked more like someone had broken into it and pried the lid off the casket for whatever no good they were up to.

National Register Documentation of South Louisiana Dance Halls by Emily Ardoin
Despite their significant place in the cultural history of south Louisiana, regional dance halls have so far received little recognition in any official capacity, including the National Register of Historic Places. I am contributing to advocacy efforts by developing a National Register of Historic Places Multiple Property Documentation Form for extant historic dance halls in the region. Once completed, the multiple property listing will simplify the nomination process for individual dance hall buildings, giving them access to increased recognition as well as federal and state tax incentives and limited protection from federally funded or approved projects. Completing a multiple property listing requires classifying a group of related buildings as a type, describing their shared historic significance, and identifying what qualities an individual building must show and retain in order to be considered eligible for listing. This process raises significant questions for regional dance halls: How are they best defined collectively as a type? Because so few buildings remain and many are in poor condition, how strictly should we consider whether a building retains its historic significance? This presentation outlines the preliminary categories and criteria defined for dance halls as well as considerations for future development and expansion of the form, including additional building types. It also explores challenges for National Register listing presented by the nature, development, and conditions of these buildings, which are not well suited to strict categorization or requirements. The form in progress defines typical and variable characteristics for one preliminary building type: Dance Halls. It includes historic contexts for Cajun, Zydeco, and Swamp Pop music and the role of dance halls in the development of these genres. Registration requirements establish criteria for eligibility of individual dance hall buildings, including significance under National Register Criteria A, B, and C as well as integrity of association and interior configuration. The property type descriptions and registration requirements are intended to be as inclusive as possible, embracing the nature of the building type. While applying dance hall buildings to National Register criteria presents numerous challenges, it also helps us to better understand the character-defining features of these buildings and how best to preserve their physical forms. As the completed form will assist with National Register of Historic Places nominations for individual buildings, the related research serves to deepen our understanding of these important cultural resources.
