French Quarter-Style Facades on the Abandoned Six Flags Midway

Jackson Square Confectionary anchored the park's Mardi Gras-themed section, designed to evoke the French Quarter facades that inspired its name. The building's cast-iron balconies and pastel paint scheme mimicked the architecture found around the real Jackson Square in downtown New Orleans. Six Flags New Orleans closed permanently after Hurricane Katrina flooded the park in August 2005, and the confectionary has stood empty since, part of a site that has never reopened to the public.
