Andrew Moore Lockett, Jr. was my Grandfather. What an amazing person - he did everything from architecture to painting to sky diving and a chess master, and was a pilot. He stayed with us for several years before he passed. He always got me in trouble when I came home late!! We were so lucky to have him with us.
Ainslee, thank you for posting that! It's always great to learn more about the folks whose records pass through our hands.
Hello,
I think we just bought a house in Uptown, New Orleans, that was lived in by Andrew Lockett and maybe built by him? It is 6036 Prytania St, and we found all of the old blueprints with his name on then.
That is interesting. The Finding Aid to the Lockett Collection in the Southeastern Architecture Archive indicates "6035 Prytania St." You may want to contact Tulane University Special Collections to see if you might compare the associated drawings with your blueprints. Perhaps it it is a type-o in the Finding Aid, or perhaps a different structure.
