The apartment buildings faced an open square.The Baroness filled that square with trees and flowers.In the center of the square she placed a statue of Andrew Jackson on horseback.Many important people moved into the Pontalba Apartments.Today people still live in these apartments，which are some of the most elegant apartments in New Orleans.
