As with all neighborhoods, the Old Third Ward is constantly changing. There are many buildings that have been documented for one reason or another, but are no longer in existence.
Below is a map of these ghost buildings. Some have been replaced by other structures. The spaces where some stood are now taken up with surface parking.
When possible an image of the building is included. If no image is available, a map of the building's location is given. If the building was a private home there are links to the family who lived there.
