The restaurant's history can be traced to the oyster saloon opened in 1893 on Fifth Street near South Street by Dutch-Jewish immigrant Samuel Bookbinder. In 1898, Bookbinder moved it to Second and Walnut streets to be closer to the docks.
The restaurant left the family in the 1930s when it was bequeathed to the Jewish Federated Charities.

One of the oldest homes in the Louisiana Purchase, Destrehan was constructed beginning in 1787 and completed in 1790. Robin de Logny contracted with a free man of color, Charles Pacquet, to build the house and outbuildings to support his indigo plantation. Pacquet was given the use of six slaves to build the house. He was paid the grand sum of "one brute negro," a cow and a calf, 100 bushels of both corn and rice, and $100 in cash upon completion. This building contract, still on file at the parish courthouse in Hahnville, LA, makes Destrehan Plantation the oldest documented house in the Lower Mississippi Valley.

Gypsum is rarely found in the form of sand because it is water-soluble. Normally, rain would dissolve the gypsum and carry it to the sea. The Tularosa Basin is enclosed, meaning that it has no outlet to the sea and that rain that dissolves gypsum from the surrounding San Andres and Sacramento Mountains is trapped within the basin. Thus water either sinks into the ground or forms shallow pools which subsequently dry out and leave gypsum in a crystalline form, called selenite, on the surface. Groundwater that does flow out of the Tularosa Basin flows south into the Hueco Basin. During the last ice age, a lake known as Lake Otero covered much of the basin. When it dried out, it left a large flat area of selenite crystals which is now the Alkali Flat. Another lake, Lake Lucero, at the southwest corner of the park, is a dry lake bed, at one of the lowest points of the basin, which occasionally fills with water.

Admissions House
Acquired by W&J in 1984, this three-story Victorian mansion was built in 1894 as the residence of Mr. and Mrs. Andrew Happer and has long been intertwined with the College by virtue of its location and association. Andrew Happer enrolled in Washington College in 1859. His studies were interrupted by the Civil War, however, and he never received a degree from the College which now owns his home.
In 1936, the Piatt family purchased the house and converted it into a funeral home. They remodeled the building extensively in 1950, enclosing several sun porches, while retaining all the charm and detail that make the home an architectural gem. The exterior of Missouri sandstone and frame features ornate trimmings and stained glass windows typical of the high-Victorian style of architecture. The interior woodwork was converted in St. Louis, Missouri, and transported to Washington by railcar. The original parquet floors, massive carved staircase and brass trimmings are still intact and contribute to the showplace qualities of the home
