Before ~n~ After Views of Brownsville

 La Nueva Libertad 1893 (a.k.a. Andres Cueto building) was a grocery, bakery and pawn shop with living space on the second floor.  1301 E Madison St.
 It was renovated by the UTB/TSC college and now belongs to the City of Brownsville.
 c1890 commercial / domestic building built by Manuel Alonso at 510-514 E St. Charles.
 It is used by the Brownsville Historical Association today.
 c1890s Henry M. Field building complex at 1049 E Monroe was built as a general store and hardware with living space on the second floor; typical of New Orleans style commercial/residential structures.
 It was renamed the Andres Pacheco building after its new owner.
 Jose Bestiero commercial brick building on E Adams and 11th built during the early 1900s.
 It doesn't look much different now but requires major renovation before it can be used again.  It is within Market Square section of downtown where the main focus of revitalization is taking place.
