November 27, 2023
Bevolo Gas & Electric Lights began in the French Quarter in 1945 when Andrew Bevolo, Sr., an Italian immigrant, revolutionized the production of gas lamps. He honed his metalworking skills while working for historic manufacturing companies including Ford, Sikorsky and Higgins. His master craftsmanship and artistic style were the perfect complement when paired with the talents of renowned architect, A. Hays Town.
