In the 1930s the Carnegie Corporation awarded her a series of grants to survey and document the early architecture of southern states. During this time, she visited New Orleans and decided to settle in the French Quarter where she lived the rest of her life in semi-retirement. Ref: Peterson, Anne, "Frances B.
