"Dorothy Ball has deep roots in New Orleans, with family living in the city for five generations and a career with the Historic New Orleans Collection, where she works on art books related to the collection and Gulf South culture. It was fitting, then, that when she and husband Adam Campagna, who runs a charter school in the French Quarter, were house-hunting for their young family, a 1910 Craftsman designed by prominent New Orleans architects Favrot & Livaudais won out."
"Ball's first call was to a longtime friend, designer Whitney Parris-Lamb, cofounder of Brooklyn-based design firm and AD PRO Directory member Jesse Parris-Lamb. The two first met in college at UNC Chapel Hill and later shared a tiny New York apartment. '"Whitney, it'd be fun one day for you to help me out with a house!"' Ball recalls saying back then. "But I never imagined that I would work on a project with a designer.""
Dorothy Ball has family in New Orleans for five generations and works at the Historic New Orleans Collection on Gulf South art books. Ball and husband Adam Campagna chose a 1910 Craftsman by Favrot & Livaudais for their young family. The house features deeply hued cypress paneling and original art glass rather than the bright, high-ceilinged, windowed houses common to pre–air-conditioning New Orleans homes. Ball engaged longtime friend and designer Whitney Parris-Lamb, whose Brooklyn firm took the project remotely. The brown stone and dark wood-paneling absorbed light and color. A 2017 renovation had introduced stylistic mismatches that stripped historic character.
