Sister Gertrude Morgan's house

Pushed off its piers in the flooding after Hurricane Katrina, the house that sheltered New Orleans preacher and folk artist Sister Gertrude Morgan for the last decades of her long life is among many in the Lower 9th Ward scheduled for demolition.

The house faced North Dorgenois in the 5400 block before rushing water knocked it into the house next door. Now, the piggy-backed houses face the corner of Flood Street, aptly enough, among miles of smashed buildings where generations of families once lived, played and worshipped.
