1. Randolph Wing House Marker
This Italianate raised center-hall cottage was built in 1872 by Frederick Wing for cotton merchant William A. Randolph. The home has 15-foot ceilings, and Corinthian columns topped with paired decorative brackets on the front facade. Master builder Frederick Wing moved from Philadelphia to New Orleans in 1836 and lived in the adjacent block at 1429 Seventh Street. The Wing family epitomizes the custom often seen in the early days of the development of the Garden District whereby family members established homes in proximity. Frederick's architect brother Jacob and his family lived a block away. In 1862, Frederick built a house next door to his own for his newlywed daughter Eliza and her Scottish husband Hugh Allison. In 1879, Eliza and Hugh bought 1329 Seventh from William Randolph. Eliza died just months later from malaria. Hugh died the following year. Eliza's sister Jessie Wing Tebo inherited the house and her large family lived here until 1931. It was occupied by the family of prominent surgeon Rawley Penick from 1931 to 1974. The house was restored in 2018.
