This view of Canal Street came from a 1930 leaflet advertising New Orleans.  The caption recalled the “newer and finer Canal Street” which resulted from the $3,500,000 renovation program.  In the lower front of the picture, we are looking toward the lake at the intersection of Royal and St. Charles Streets with Canal, with Maison Blanche in the right background.  A Freret or S. Claiborne car is beginning its turn from the outer riverbound track into St. Charles Street.  The car next to it is probably a Tulane, Cemeteries, or West End car on the inner riverbound track.  Additional streetcars can be seen further out on Canal.  The four-track crossover between St. Charles/Royal and Carondelet/Bourbon is clearly visible. — New Orleans Association of Commerce
