This old Humphrey's Water heater was seen on the curb in the French Quarter. It is amazing seeing all the junk and damaged items that are being put to the street in the New Orleans area after Hurricane Katrina. This New Orleans water heater looks to be made by the Humphrey company. This Humphrey water heater probably is from the early 1900's. The French Quarter is an amazing place. Full of the oddest history and neatest finds. No two days are the same in New Orleans.
