Cornerstones is a place documentary initiative that teamed up with Small Center (then Tulane City Center) on various outreach projects throughout New Orleans. The project both documents and promotes sites that store, facilitate, or perpetuate New Orleans's history, culture, and sense of place. Tulane City Center and Cornerstones were asked by community members of the Candlelight Lounge in the Historic Term neighborhood to document and position the significance of the barroom within the neighborhood and New Orleans, so that efforts to sustain the barroom could be well supported.
