Back o' Town was a section of New Orleans, also known at the time as the Battlefield or the "colored red light district," a tough area; Louis Armstrong grew up in this area. Back o' Town included illicit gambling and prostitution houses as well as residences. The adjacent South Rampart Street corridor contained more respectable African American businesses and legitimate places of entertainment. From the turn of the century through the 1920s, Back o' Town had a concentration. of saloons, social halls, dance clubs, and vaudeville theaters where early jazz was played. These ranged from low-down dives, such as the Red Onion, to a middle-class ballroom like the Parisian Garden room in the Pythian Temple building. Most of the area has been redeveloped for government offices, parking areas, high-rise office buildings, and the Superdome. The Red Onion, the Pythian Temple Building, the Odd Fellows and Masonic Dance Hall, and the Iroquois Theater remain. Louis Armstrong's birthplace, Union Sons Hall, the Astoria Hotel and Ballroom, Spano's, and several other important early structures have been torn down.
