Finally caught an episode of NCIS: New Orleans with scenes set in the French Quarter. Love those balconies with iron tracery! I had to make certain changes for our own house, though:

1) The "open proscenium" type of iron tracery is conducive to Akyat-Bahay invasion, and so I covered everything with ironwork, taking care to install huge, iron windows that are padlocked but that can swing out to still give an open-proscenium effect whenever we want them to.

2) French iron tracery is too labor-intensive, expensive, difficult to repair and replace, and requires tedious cleaning on a typically dusty Philippine street, and so I went with Grecian squares instead.
