Bywater and Faubourg Marigny Faubourg Marigny is a triangular shaped area comprised of a variety of mostly one-story houses in the styles of Late Georgian, Creole, and Greek Revival, the Creole cottage and shotgun cottage. The area definitely has a strong 19th century flavor. Houses in this area are usually built flush with the front property line leaving small front yards adorned with ornamental cast-iron fences. There are several two and three story structures, most of which line Esplanade Avenue. The area has become an extension of the French Quarter with cafés, restaurants, musical venues, as well as a lively club scene. There are also small businesses, light industry, and several Bed and Breakfasts. Bywater, similar to Marigny, is a riverside neighborhood containing mostly one-story shotgun 19th century houses packed closely together. Like many of New Orleans' riverside neighborhoods, Bywater was settled on the site of plantations carved from land grants made by the French and Spanish rulers. Early inhabitants belonged to the artisan class and included immigrants from Ireland, Germany and Italy.
