Emma B. Rampart and Bienville

In 1940: http://photogrammar.yale.edu/records/index.php?record=fsa2000037547/PP

These are not actually the same property! But it shows how confusing it can be. Pay attention to the windows at the roofline. Here is the property Emma photographed in the Vieux Carre Digital Survey: http://www.hnoc.org/vcs/property_info.php?lot=11554

So what happened to the building from 1940? Well, it is actually 300-306 Rampart, where the building above is 308-312 Rampart. You can see the Dog House Saloon here from around the same time. A cab is still parked in front! http://www.hnoc.org/vcs/property_info.php?lot=11555
