Excerpt from the New Orleans City Guide, 1938: "The Confederate Memorial Hall, 929 Camp St., adjoining the Howard Library, was built in 1891 to serve as a meeting place for the Louisiana Historical Association and as a repository of Confederate records and relics. Construction was made possible through a $40,000 gift of Frank T. Howard. The building was designed by Thomas O. Sully, a New Orleans architect. -- The principal feature of the interior is a hall-like exhibition and meeting room with a vaulted ceiling whose structural oak woodwork remains exposed."
