In 1837, the properties shown here in the two squares bounded by Chartres, Canal, Bourbon, and Customhouse (now Iberville) Streets were owned by thirty individuals, five of whom were women.

Slocomb had died in 1834, leaving his estate valued at between $250-$300,000 to his wife, Cora, and their three daughters.
