He accepted a position as an instructor at Tulane University’s School of Architecture in New Orleans, Louisiana, in 1921. At the same time, he was an active participant in the Arts and Crafts Club and taught in the New Orleans Art School. Spratling roomed with author William Faulkner during his time in New Orleans, and the two famously collaborated on Sherwood Anderson and Other Famous Creoles, which depicted the bohemian atmosphere of artists and writers like themselves living and working in the French Quarter in the 1920s.view less
