DAY 074 Dorothey Gardner photographed exclusively for the 100 Men Hall People Project (100MHPP).

Since I was a little girl I used to come after the parades. There used to be little dances here years ago. I used to see Irma Thomas. I think a long time ago Fats Domino came here too. I came to Carnival here. When I was a child, I used to costume here. My magical moment was when they had Mardi Gras balls. My children didn’t come to the Hall. This was a beautiful, nice place. You could come here dancing all the time. They always had something here.
