Not located in a local historic district, the buildings could have been considered prime candidates for demolition. Rather, their accurate restoration in appearance and planned use as ten affordable housing units preserved a majority of original forms and material, including the floor plans. Remarkably, a large percentage of the original fabric including windows, cypress siding, chimneys, and mantels were salvaged and reused in the honored restoration project. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718588545-6A2ZWMR0VVMNYTP4DZVL/after_3_-_conner_residence_1.png 2018 Awards for Excellence - 701 First St. Rachel and Nick Conner, owners; studioWTA, architect; Elizabeth Simpson, preservationist A significant hands-on undertaking by private owners rescued this proto-typical corner store from an extreme state of deterioration. Located in the Irish Channel Local Historic District, this circa 1895 Queen Anne style two-story structure had lost its wrap-around gallery, and its in-situ historic fabric remained in severe disrepair. Owner Nick Conner, whose company specializes in historically accurate millwork, self-performed the duties as contractor and craftsman for the restoration project. Today this commerical building converted into residential units adds new vitality to its neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718587727-SS4FEKS0D5BZ884M26O9/after_streetview_-_frenchmen_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 801 Frenchmen Todd Biever, owner; SES Enterprises, Inc., contractor, Albert Architecture Located in the heart of the historic Marigny neighborhood on a a visually prominent corner across from Washington Square, this mid-to-late 19th century commercial/residential building underwent severe damage from fire and termites in recent years. Last year the building was revitalized and restored back to its former character. All the original components were salvaged and reinstalled or reproduced in exact detail. Most significantly, the documented wrap-around gallery was reconstructed on both elevations, contributing greatly to the ambience of the streetscape. Numerous structural enhancements were done as well. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1533740141338-M9U2ZFMW0OM9K6YX8TTC/After+Streetview+-+Straight+University.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 1423 North Claiborne Straight University Boarding House and Dining Hall The Preservation Resource Century of New Orleans, owner; Perez, APC, architect; Upstream Construction Consulting, Inc. The sagging, blighted late Greek revival style double-gallery house facing the I-10 overpass on Claiborne proved to have more history than the team realized going into the project. The once grand house faced demolition when the Preservation Resource Center acquired it in 2009, at which time its bowed front gallery threatened to collapse into the street. Subsequent research revealed the significant fact that it is the last remaining building associated with Straight University, one of the first African-American universities in Louisiana, and perhaps the last remnant from all such schools. The Straight University building is now revitalized for residential use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718587284-RTV39X810WNJLOL6FPRZ/after_1_preview.jpeg_-_1824_swp_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 1824 Sophie Wright Place Wes Michaels and Elizabeth Mossop, owners; studioWTA, architect; A-J-K Renovations, LLC, contractor; Spackman Mossop Michaels, landscape architect; The McEnery Company and ARB Meetings and Events, project managers; Clio Associates, historic tax credit consultant; Roth Law Firm; Home Bank, finance partner Repeatedly cited for demolition by neglect and listed on the Louisiana Landmarks Society’s 2011 New Orleans' Nine Most Endangered Sites, the double-pen 1857 bakery, office, and residence has been creatively rescued from destruction. In 2015, then City Councilmember LaToya Cantrell backed the Historic District Landmark Commission’s denial of a demolition request, offering the landmark a lifeline. In the same year new owners rehabilitated the seemingly hopeless property using historic tax credits to house a commercial office spanning across both structures' second floors, with a residential unit located in each of the structures' ground floors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718587223-XKYJKD4CWLQTALXMLQGQ/after_6_-_1927_washington_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 1927 Washington Avenue Octavia Fortier, owner; Concordia, LLC; NFT Group, LLC; Mary Lane Carleton, tax credit consultant On a block with a mix of stable housing and boarded-up shotguns, this narrow, two-story residence was once an area nuisance. Recognizing the historic significance and appeal of the house, severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina, its owner fortunately wanted to renovate the property to honor its history. Using residential state tax credits, the team restored the house to its appropriate 1890s exterior with an up-to-date interior, making it an asset rather than a burden to its neighborhood. The collapsed facade gallery and side balcony have been appropriately restored, adding significantly to the streetscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718586939-205P3LXRYHBG1QDEZUXD/after_streetview_-_the_academy_0_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 820 Dauphine The Academy William R. Legier, Jr., developer; Trapolin-Peer Architects, APC; Melissa Legier Designs, interior designer; Woodward Design+ Build; Chris Chain (RMI Construction) and Richard Dedeaux Construction, contractors; Hilary Irvin, historic consultant Since 1867, the corner of Dumaine and Dauphine figured prominently for educating the neighborhood's Catholic youth. The existing complex, which in 1949 replaced earlier structures, today is deemed a fine example of the mid-20th-century French Quarter revival style, recognized as contributory to the Vieux Carré National Register District. In this rehabilitation for residential use, the development team retained historic millwork, glazed block walls, and corridor configurations. A rooftop apartment was added atop the convent wing, set back from the parapet and subtly tucked between the school block and convent stair tower. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718586634-1WXXITMPB5MHL7T4BJ9I/after_-_algiers_courthouse_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 225 Morgan Algiers Courthouse City of New Orleans, Capital Projects Administration; Linfield, Hunter & Junius, Inc., architect Built in 1896 when it replaced the late-colonial Duverje Mansion as the Algiers Courthouse, this is only the second building on the site and one of Algiers' most prominent and treasured landmarks. The City of New Orleans recognized its importance by devoting scarce resources to refinishing and restoring the original masonry walls, windows, signage, and courtrooms, and replacing gutters and roofing with copper and slate. As with the ongoing restoration and stabilization work with Gallier Hall, this project represents another example of our city responding admirably to its stewardship of significant public buildings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718586544-PFVNCF8FW19NXKK4DVFW/after_exterior_-_artspace_bell_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 2100 Ursulines Artspace Bell The Bell School Limited Partnership, owner; Gibbs Construction; Providence Community Housing, development partner, Morphy Makofsky, Inc., engineering; Looney Ricks Kiss/LRK, LLC, Billes Partners, LLC, and Rick Fifield, architects The Bell Artspace Campus project transformed six structures comprising the former Andrew J. Bell and Ben Franklin Schools into seventy-nine live-work housing units with ancillary uses. Geared toward low to moderate income artists, cultural workers and their families, this vast project, which ecnompasses two blocks, contributes greatly toward the encouragement of continuing cultural and ethnic diversity in the Faubourg Tremé, a neighborhood noted for its historic multiplicity. Vacant for thirteen years, the site now thrives as a community of engaged residents, all while meeting criteria for obtaining historic preservation tax credits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718586182-T59XAJ05AEFHILOUZ00J/after_1_-_g_o_mondy_school_apts_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 2327 St. Philip G. O. Mondy School Apartments Neville Development, owner; HCI Architecture and Design, Rick Fifield Architect, LLC; Palmisano Group, contractor Constructed in 1897 in the Tremé historic district, George O. Mondy Elementary had remained vacant since 2005 The current owner acquired the abandoned school in 2015 with plans for rehabilitation into affordable apartments for seniors. The building was carefully rehabilitated as such, with significant portions of the original interiors restored and damaged elements were replaced appropriately. Importantly, the caretaker's cottage, which was targeted by the city for demolition, was included in the renovation project. The building now continues to honor the legacy of its namesake, George O. Mondy, the first African-American to serve on the New Orleans Fire Department. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718585930-3X9449ID1WHBDL3KKUJ7/after_streetview_-_inn_at_old_jail_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 2552 St. Philip Inn at the Old Jail Liz and Raul Canache, owners; LK Harmon Architects; Bernardio Marcia, contractor Vacant since Hurricane Katrina and owned by the City of New Orleans in 2010 when named to Lousiana Landmarks Society's New Orleans' Nine Most Endangered Sites, this striking 1902 Queen Anne style structure, which housed a Police Jail and Patrol Center, was a victim of extreme demolition by neglect. In 2013, the building was auctioned to the winning owners, whose plans to turn the property into a bed and breakfast establishment were unanimously approved by the City Planning Commission in 2015.

Louisiana Landmarks Society included such abandoned churches in its 2010 list of New Orleans' Nine Most Endangered Sites. Acquiring the historic site in 2011, the owners envisioned restoring the building and offering it as a resource to the community, which has welcomed this new complementary use. With the exception of a new code-compliant entrance and stabilization of historic fabric, the rehabilitation project has embraced the concept of "patina of age." https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718585409-4GLFSHHJDGZNLKNNCZLL/after_streetview_-_the_drifter_hotel_1_0_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 3522 Tulane The Drifter Hotel (3522 Tulane) Kupperman Companies, LLC, CSM Investments, LLC, Sandstone Developments, owners; Nicole Cota Studios, interior design; Concordia Architects; Beier Construction The circa 1958 Crescent City Motel numbers among several Mid-Century Modern style motor courts constructed on the corridor when Tulane Avenue served as a part of U.S. Route 61, running from New Orleans to Minnesota. After the opening of the I-10 highway, the area fell into deep disrepair and such iconic buildings became unsavory ruins, with several recently being demolished. Fortunately, this honored restoration converted this proto-typical example into the boutique 20-room Drifter Hotel. Through research, specifically using vintage postcards, the interiors and exteriors have been restored to the 1950s appearance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718585286-F0EIZNCB436UWINRF1NJ/jung_rendering_after_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 1500 Canal The Jung Hotel and Residences (1500 Canal) MCC Real Estate, owner; Williams Architects; Trahan Architects; McDonnel Group, contractors The restoration of the historic portions of the Jung Hotel, listed on the National Register in 1982, marks a substantial investment by local developers in the Upper Canal Street corridor, an area challenged for decades by its proximity to the raised interstate highway. Designed by the noted local firm Weiss and Dreyfous in 1925, with additions made in 1928 and circa 1950, the skyskraper had languished since severely damaged by Hurricane Katrina. The redevelopment includes 175 multi-family residential units, 145 extended-stay hotel rooms, a parking garage and 42,280 feet of commerical retail space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718584720-QJ1A9CLL6STPJVTQQLHL/after_streetview_-_the_advocate_1.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 840 St. Charles The New Orleans Advocate (840 St. Charles) John Georges, owner; Dalton Architects; Palmisano Group, contractor; Jeanne Barousse Designs In selecting a home for the New Orleans Advocate, its owner chose this Mid-Century Modern style building designed in 1949 by the architectural firm of Curtis and Davis for the Klein Motors Automobile Dealership. In the intervening years since its construction, much of the defining minimalist detailing had been removed. The Advocate's renovation restored the original appearance, most notably the undulating canopy and angled glass storefront, combined with a new penthouse not visible from the street. The lobby is connected to the second floor by a new feature, a 20-foot high spiral staircase that overlooks the lobby and the newsroom. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718584674-JO0ZWWONGHP7T9LYR3AO/thumbnail_nopsi_hotel_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 317 Baronne The NOPSI Hotel (317 Baronne) Building and Land Technology, owner; Woodward Design + Build, architect; Salamander Hotels & Resorts, property manager This imposing Neo-classical style building, designed in 1927 by the firm of Favrot & Livaudais, for decades housed New Orleans Public Service, Inc. During those years, New Orleanians entered the lobby with its spectacular vaulted ceiling, ornamental columns, and terrazzo floors to pay bills or lodge complaints. This honored renovation transformed this grand space for new use as part of a 217-room hotel, carefully poishing its old-world elegance. The project also includes the Dryades sub-station, a former savings and loans bank next door and a corner parking lot. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718584324-IOWCZZGSR9WCEHID78TS/after_streetview_-_the_pythian_1_0_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 234 Loyola The Pythian (234 Loyola) GCE 234 Loyola, LLC, owner; Green Coast Enterprises, Crescent City Community Land and Trust, and ERG Enterprises, developers; studioWTA, architect; Landis Construction Co.; Harmon Engineering, LLC; The MCC Group; Mullin Landscape Associates For many years obscured by metal sheathing, the Pythian Temple was constructed by the Colored Knights of Pythias in 1909 and led by Smith Wendall Green, the wealthiest Aftican-American man in Louisiana. Constructed to bring African-American enterprises to the back of town, the building's tenants included law firms, benevolent societies, a theater and a jazz hall. This transformative restoration removed the sheathing and placed the landmark back in the spotlight. Housing sixty-nine mixed-income apartments, the Pythian Market, an event space and offices, the building utilized historic tax credits and is LEED certifitied silver. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718584209-2SYXVFR9WOR35PS1TDHP/robert_fresh_market.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 2222 St. Claude Robert Fresh Market (2222 St. Claude) Marc Robert (Marketfare St. Claude, LLC), owner; Trapolin-Peer Architects, APC; Hilary Irvin, historic consultant; Ryan Gootee General Contractors; Heaslip Engineering, WDG Engineers; King Retail Solutions; Johanna Leibe, landscape architect; Butler Snow, LLP Residents of Faubourg Marigny and adjacent areas celebrated the long-anticipated rebirth of Schwegmann Brothers' Giant Supermarket Number 1 as a Robert Fresh Market. Listed individually on the National Register in 2014, this iconic landmark, shuttered since Hurricane Katrina, was revitalized using historic tax credits for renovation of the 1946 big-box grocery buildings. The project also included demolition of non-historic concrete block extensions and new construction for myriad retail spaces. The goal of creating an urban space to blend with and contribute to its historic 19th and early 20th century neighborhood guided all aspects of the rehabilitation plans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718583806-622ODX75Y62Z5LMB49EE/after_streetview_day_-_royal_frenchmen_0_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 700 Frenchmen Royal Frenchmen Hotel (700 Frenchmen) Hugh Stiel (700 Frenchmen Street, LLC), owner; Broadmoor Design Group, LLC; Charlotte Spencer Smith (CSS Architects) Facing Washington Square in the heart of Faubourg Marigny, the circa 1844 masonry townhouses, which comprise the Royal Frenchmen figured as a part of the vast holdings of Julien Adolphe Lacroix (1808 - 1868), a Cuban-born free-man-of-color, and his brother Francois Lacroix (1806 - 1876). The wealthy and influential Lacroix siblings belonged to that unique group of cultured gens de couleur libres, found in the Creole suburbs. The current owner acquired these signficant properties, formerly the home of Father Flanagan's Boys Home, and faithfully restored all salient architectural features, all while attending to the recommendations and wishes of the neighbors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718583829-EI579VLGNCXFBFP6ZB9A/streetview_2_-_bakers_row_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - 2415 Dauphine Baker's Row (2415 Dauphine) MK Real Estate Development, owner; Dalton Architecture; Titan of Louisiana, Inc., contractor; David R. O'Reilly Engineering Consultants, LLC Located on the site of the burned Hubig's Pie factory, Baker's Row, an infill project of new construction, consists of a townhouse condominium complex of four buildings, each with two residences. The development team worked tirelessly with an engaged neighborhood, as well as seeking input from experienced advisers. A consensus emerged to create a modern living environment within the historical context, resulting in historically-referencing façades with modern interiors and courtyards. In further deference to nearby residents, the developers addressed expressed concerns by using foundations not requiring pile-driving and not having windows face the adjacent properties. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718582937-53MI1N65ZLMAAMZZQ91O/after_streetview_-_st._thomas_and_ninth_0_0.jpg 2018 Awards for Excellence - St. Thomas and Ninth Street Saint Thomas 9, LLC, owner; OJT (Office of Jonathan Tate), architect; Edifice Builders, contractor; Spackmann, Mossop and Michaels, landscape architects This new construction and rehabilitation project provided an innovative and successful approach of contemporary infill providing twelve homes--nine new construction units and three in an existing warehouse structure. Leveraging the density allowed for multi-family development in this transitioning industrial edge, the site is organized as single-family assemblage, in which the individual homes “fit together” in massing that respects and reflects the scale and character of its Irish Channel industrial/residential mixed neighborhood. The approach required a subversion of the conventional legal structure, which usually applies individual ownership to the interior of one unit. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1525718583138-0SB1QYKCDDINJEG8HA2R/before_and_after_st._louis_1_-_oak_and_laurel_0.png 2018 Awards for Excellence - Oak & Laurel Cemetery Preservation Emily Ford (Oak & Laurel Cemetery Preservation) On Christmas Day, 2017, New Orleans lost a stalwart preservationist. Mary Lou Christovich was a prolific author, teacher, historian, advocate, fundraiser, preservationist, innovator and role model. Preservation of historic cemeteries was one of the issues she championed. It was Mary Lou who raised the consciousness of the community to the need to protect and preserve these invaluable historic cemeteries. Mary Lou strove for excellence in all she did. And so, it is with reverence and honor we give this Special Award for Excellence in Historic Preservation in memory of Mary Lou Christovich to Emily Ford, for her body of work in restoring and preserving the tombs of New Orleans. In recognition of the need for stewardship of these hallowed but often neglected places, the honored recipient uses proper materials and artisanal techniques that serve to provide sustainability and responsible preservation of the tombs, copings, monuments and landscapes of these cemeteries.

St. John or "Spanish Fort" at the mouth of Bayou St. John is the location of fortifications that have existed from the earliest days of New Orleans to protect the city from attack by way of Lake Pontchartrain. The present fortifications were built by the United States in 1808, making the fort one of the oldest structures in New Orleans. Although placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982, the remaining brick ramparts continue to decline due to vandalism and exposure. Controlled by City Park, the fort forms no part of City Park's 2018 Master Plan. This remarkable link to the Bayou's earliest days will continue to deteriorate unless action is taken. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271758737-MTTTW8UH87Y4JVDOAQPG/2._new_orleans_african_american_museum_0.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - New Orleans African American Museum THREAT: Demolition by Neglect Located in Treme, the NOAAM includes seven historical structures on a former plantation site. The main building, the Meilleur-Goldthwaite House (1828-1829) is a raised center-hall cottage considered to be the finest remaining "master house" in the city. In 1991 the City of New Orleans purchased and restored the Villa Meilleur to establish the non-profit NOAAM. The museum's finances have always been unstable. Its future is clouded by controversy over misspent federal grant funds, an untimely purchase of another building needing extensive repairs, overall failed administrative planning and estimating, and bad luck. A successful capital campaign would return these historic structures to public use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271759036-JCGNZNZEJIAN7ER2SLEP/3._mcdonogh_no11_school_0.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - McDonogh No.11 School THREAT: Demolition by Neglect Originally at Palmyra and S. Prieur, the 1878 three-story McDonogh No. 11 remains one of only a few schools by famed architect William Freret. Renovated in 1951, it later served as Priestly School of Architecture and Construction and the New Orleans Center for Health Careers. The stately structure was part of the 67 acre swath targeted for the new UMC and VA complexes. Decrying the absurdity of the just-spent $3M to restore it after Katrine, preservationists saved it from demolition. The state acquiesced, agreeing to move the building. Over two years, the state spent hundred of thousands relocating it three times until it landed, isolated, in the interstate exit ramp curve in 2013. It remains on prominent public display, deteriorating. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271760519-S965L850N4DK38HNJ9Z1/4._old_holy_cross_school_0.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - Old Holy Cross School THREAT: Demolition by Neglect Built in 1895 by the Brothers of Holy Cross, this 4-story Italianate school is the sole remnant of the expansive campus that was abandoned after Katrina-related damage. Despite intense opposition, the City Council approved a 2014 redevelopment plan that would include two new 60 foot residential towers and the renovation of the former school. Neighborhood critics argued the project would overwhelm the surrounding community. Construction was announced for early 2016, yet today the handsome brick and cast iron structure stand untouched, choked with weeds and graffiti. The developers point to financial delays outside of their control yet residents wonder if the long-stalled project will only hasten the decline of their neighborhood's namesake. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271760618-YFSEMXYUY4ICT7ID7YS6/5._rudolph_tp_danneel_caretakers_cottage_0.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - Rudolph T. P. Danneel School Caretaker's Cottage THREAT: Demolition by Neglect In the late 19th & early 20th centuries, custodial residences were often placed on school grounds. One such cottage is on the corner of Annunciation and Arabella, part of the uptown campus of the Ben Franklin Elementary School. This historic side-gallery shotgun may be older than the original Rudolph T. P. Danneel School c. 1908. In 2011, the Orleans Parish School Board recognized the "historic property," "deteriorated conditions" and its "blight to the surrounding neighborhoods." The Board voted unanimously to transfer this cottage to surplus and issue a competitive Request For Proprosal for its sale and physical removal, but no action was taken. Seven years later, poorly secured, dangerously abandoned and still a public nuisance, this precious historic cottage needs a new and more responsible caretaker. Contact OPSB if it could be you. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271763252-CBKQX8NV8HS4T63E4GHJ/6._audubon_park_shelter_13_1.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - Audubon Park Shelter 13 THREAT: Possible Demolition The concept of Audubon Park as a fun desitnation rather than a place of quiet meditation emerged in the early 1920s. To serve this public use, park planners commissioned various attractions and structures, one of which is the threatened Shelter 13, designed in 1921 by architect Sam Stone, Jr. Also president of the Audubon Park Commission, Stone drew plans for such local landmarks as the Masonic Temple and Maison Blanche. Constructed for restrooms in the busy Magazine Street area, Shelter 13 sits forbiddingly boarded up and fenced in. Current plans do not specify what will happen to this historic remnant but possibilities range from converting it to a security station to demolition. Neighborhood advocates urge its renovation to its public use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271763654-UHU9SCZ497LL4RAPTM7R/7._historic_lampposts_0.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - Historic Lampposts THREAT: Demolition by Neglect Neglected for decades, the damaged lamp stands along St. Charles Avenue and other local thoroughfares mar our picturesque streetscapes. The vast majority of the over 300 St. Charles Avenue cast iron streetlight stands have been left to rust, with missing trap doors, collars and collapsing bases. Some are missing entirely, the stubs of once beautiful lampposts ignominiously marked with orange cones. Installed about 1925 with their original rams' horn arcs at the top, the lampposts once provided the city with handsome and utilitarian street art. Today, owing to city and RTA neglect, they are literally falling apart. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271775991-RRM1PRNX79FZ1MH3V6UL/8._loews_state_theatre_0.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - Loew's State Theatre THREAT: Partial Demolition One of the chain of theaters developed by movie pioneer Marcus Loew, the Loew's State Theatre in the 1100 block of Canal Street was hailed at its opening in 1926 as an "acme of grace and beauty." Designed by famed theater architect Thomas Lamb with more than 3,000 seats and an opera house style, this movie and vaudeville palace had the requisite opulence to showcase the top films of the then emerging Hollywood studios. The Loew's State, and the 1927 Saenger Theatre across the street, for decades served to establish Canal Street as the preferred destination for a luxury theater experience in the gulf south. Now threatened with the proposed construction of a high-rise hotel, this stately and dignified theater remains intact and awaits a proper restoration to return it to full functionality and service for years to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529271770383-Q4O9YRMMH7CNHADSAYEC/9._civil_defense_control_center_1.jpg 2018 NOLA9 - Civil Defense Control Center THREAT: Demolition by Neglect Deep below the wide neutral ground on West End Boulevard lies a relic of the Cold War. Opened in 1962, the Civil Defense Control Center is a subterranean bunker capable of shielding occupants from radiation in the event of nuclear attack. Radio and telephone equipment, medical supplies, an sleeping quarters were placed in rooms radiating out from a circular map room. Rescue and recovery efforts for Hurricane Betsy in 1965 were orchestrated there. The structure was shuttered in the mid-90s. The Civil Defense Center is a public building that has outlived its purpose, but hopefully will find a new use that recognizes its significance in our nation's history. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2017-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336766704-5FKLRKP27DGB7PPCW8WP/1._armstrong_-_municipal_auditorium.png 2017 NOLA9 - Historic Buildings in Louis Armstrong Park THREAT: Demolition by Neglect The National Park Service (NPS), FEMA, and the City of New Orleans play a part in the deterioration of the historic buildings in Louis Armstrong Park, including the Municipal Auditorium and the NPS Jazz Complex’s historic structures: Perseverance Hall, Caretaker’s Residence, Rabassa-DePouilly House, Reimann House and the Breezeway Building. Twelve years after Katrina, the City remains embroiled in negotiations with FEMA on funds to restore the Municipal Auditorium. Though the City recently secured the building to stop intruders, significant problems continue, such as holes in the roof that allow interior deterioration. The NPS Jazz Complex’s five historic structures in the park also suffer from neglect. The NPS lacks adequate funding, with a backlog of $12B in deferred maintenance projects nationwide. Congress should dedicate funding to maintain our national parks https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336794902-Q8YYLPO0SSG3Q7H155CB/3._industrial_canal.png 2017 NOLA9 - Industrial Canal Communities THREAT: Community Destabilization and Environmental Impacts Still recovering from the levee breach after Katrina, the Ninth Ward and St. Bernard neighborhoods are now threatened by a 13-year infrastructure replacement project by the Corps of Engineers that includes the demolition of the 1921 Inner Harbor Navigation Canal (IHNC) Lock and St. Claude Bridge. Impacts to historic neighborhoods will be significant: dredging and transporting toxic materials, constructing new 24-foot flood walls, and destabilizing complex soils at the intersection of the IHNC and River - yet, questions go unanswered. Added to these are traffic and bridge impairments for Orleans and St. Bernard parishes, an outdated environmental impact statement (1997), safety concerns, damage to buildings, resident relocations, reduced property values, and economic stagnation. The project benefits and economics are speculative, engineering vague, and adverse impacts abundant. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336769052-JLL2X1UYOSJQ3U1VAJO8/4._israel_m._augustine_murals.jpg 2017 NOLA9 - Israel M. Augustine School THREAT: Demolition by Neglect The Spanish Colonial revival entry to Israel M. Augustine School presides over Broad Street near its intersection with Tulane Avenue. The balconette, escutcheons and red tile were added in 1927 to the circa 1913 building. Noted municipal architect E. A. Christy oversaw both the design and renovations of the school, originally named Samuel J. Peters. Today, the windows are shielded by metallic coverings installed when the Orleans Parish School Board opted to “mothball” the building post-Katrina. Hidden inside is one-of-a-kind artwork commissioned in 1931 by the Works Progress Administration, designed by Tulane watercolor instructor Leslie Powell and completed by Claire Silber. The series of thematic historic murals representing industry, power, finance, communication and transportation survived Katrina flooding and await restoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336761505-IMXAYOD547M3L4489SOO/2._french_quarter_street_grid.jpg 2017 NOLA9 - French Quarter Street Grid THREAT: Loss of Historic French Quarter Grid In 1721, the French engineer Adrien de Pauger arrived in the little settlement on the banks of the Mississippi River, then consisting of a few huts. Soon after, he drew a plan to impose order on this colonial outpost, using the grid pattern that dated back to Roman times. This “French Quarter Grid” has remained intact for almost three centuries, creating fluidity within this old neighborhood. This historic layout now is threatened by the “Citywide Security Plan,” which would close seven Bourbon Street blocks to vehicular traffic round-the-clock, even at intersections. The impact would be felt throughout the district, essentially stopping the flow of traffic and vitality in this living community. Temporary bollards may address safety concerns. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336803186-IM8YGKZVGEN1QLMF9SRP/8._oc_haley_elementary.png 2017 NOLA9 - Oretha Castle Haley Elementary THREAT: Full Demolition The former Charles E. Gayarre Elementary in the heart of the St. Roch neighborhood has sat vacant since the levee breach after Katrina inundated it with seven feet of floodwater. Built in 1921 by noted civic architect E. A. Christy in the early 20th century Mediterranean revival style, this three-story stucco and Spanish tile structure was auctioned as surplus school board property in 2013. Three years later, the owners applied for a full demolition permit to replace the building with a commercial “strip mall” development. The City Council denied that request in December 2016, encouraging adaptive reuse. The owners have since filed an appeal of that decision with the Civil District Court, continuing the risk for demolition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336798664-O90ABUZT2HUYKBF7JMEL/7._milneburg_lighthouse.png 2017 NOLA9 - Milneburg Lighthouse THREAT: Demolition by Neglect The Port Pontchartrain Lighthouse is the only remnant of the once vibrant 1830’s Milneburg port town and fishing village. This 1855 masonry structure replaced an original 1839 wooden lighthouse and remained in service until 1929. Originally 3000 ft into Lake Pontchartrain, it now sits dry on reclaimed land. Between 1939 and 1983 it was maintained by the Pontchartrain Beach Park development, featured on their midway. Acquiring the lighthouse in 1991 for its Research and Technology Center, the University of New Orleans assured its preservation. This has not happened. The bricks of the building are suffering major mortar loss, and vegetation appears in cracks. Much of the original ironwork is missing. The property is significant for its 159 year role in New Orleans history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336780030-VE6QJB3DT5PVY6433I6R/5._luling_mansion.jpg 2017 NOLA9 - Luling Mansion THREAT: Demolition by Neglect The colossal mansion at 1438 Leda Street sits hidden from Esplanade Avenue. Originally sited on 30 acres, it was designed by James Gallier, Jr. in 1865 as a 22 room residence for cotton merchant Florence Luling. In 1871 Luling sold it to the Louisiana Jockey Club (1871-1905). Converted into apartments in 1934, it has been owned by the same family since 1950. The mansion progressively displays visible water damage and decay of its wooden brackets, soffit and eaves from lack of basic maintenance. The original wooden balcony balustrades were insensitively replaced many years ago with one-sided aluminum castings. If these current wooden elements are not cared for, they too may be lost, further diminishing this grand, Renaissance palazzo-style landmark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336805140-9767VSWSJRRNS2QR1M21/9._st._claude_pharmaceutical_building.jpg 2017 NOLA9 - St. Claude Pharmaceutical Building THREAT: Demolition by Neglect An eagle still stands guard above the doorway to the neoclassical building designed in 1926 by eminent architect Emile Weil as the St. Roch Market Branch of Whitney Bank. Ornate capitals, embellished with urns, top the pilasters, but below graffiti scars the exterior at street level. Rot threatens the large multistory windows, decades of air pollution stain the cornice, and stone masonry is deteriorating. Home for decades to the Louisiana State Pharmaceutical Association, the building more recently served as an art studio. As of now, the commercial renaissance along St. Claude Ave. has bypassed this handsome structure, but the success of nearby adaptive reuse projects like St. Roch Market and the New Orleans Healing Center point to its latent potential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529336790372-MPZYWOXHIJG1KIWKCXPR/6._masonry_prarie_service_station.jpg 2017 NOLA9 - 20th Century Service Station THREAT: Demolition by Neglect Early in the 20th century a new demand arose from the mass production of the automobile, the need for neighborhood fueling stations. Built for the Gulf Oil company, circa 1930, this early filling station is a rare example of transitional design from Craftsman style toward a more contemporary, Prairie School style, exemplified by its large cantilevered canopy supported on a single masonry column. Blighted and neglected, it stands decaying and overgrown with vegetation; yet it can be saved. Retaining its unique original green glazed tiles, unpainted masonry walls, original wood windows and broad canopy with details intact, if restored, it will provide a window into the early 20th century era of mobility and convenience in New Orleans. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2016-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337521093-R6OHR0SMU00RPB3X62VM/group_final.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - Parks & Open Spaces Threat: Privatization, specialization and commercialization The recent controversies over a proposed soccer complex at Audubon Park's "Fly" and a golf course in City Park illustrate the increasing threat of privatizing, specializing, and commercializing public spaces in our city. Our public parks are increasingly being devoted to commercial and single-use limited admission facilities. These facilities infringe on people's interactions with nature in unscripted ways, the primary purpose of urban parks. Furthermore, because limited admission and commercial facilities are availabe only to those who can afford the price of admission, they harken back to the days when access to public places was denied to many. A simple solution is to make new facilites in parks Conditional Uses (CU) subject to review by the Planning Commission and approval by the City Council, opening the merits of these facilities to broader public discussions where alternate locations could be considered. Our public parks and open spaces are an integral part of our cultural and historic landscape and must be kept free and open for future generations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337519255-GFG66OUNLAQ4DS2FZALJ/2._1505_st._bernard.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - 1505 St. Bernard Ave. Threat: Owner requested demolition and neglect Built in 1927, this blighted and neglected two-story masonry building is one of the few remnants of a once thriving neighborhood business district surroundng the former St. Bernard Market (now Circle Food Store). Its ground floor held the Hart Jewelry Co. (1930-1950s) and later the African American owned Keystone Life Insurance Co. The second floor was used for an African American branch of the YWCA in the 1940s. In 2011, TAG Businesses LLC acquired the building through a bargain price program that required renovation in 270 days. Five years later, the owner has done nothing but allow further decay and even recently requested its demolition. With numerous code enforcement violations/liens, prolonged neglect, and the owner's apparent lack of understing of the building's historic or contextual importance, the city has the right and obligation to revoke this sale and sell to a more responsible developer. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337519263-KRCDTTX8DW3RTG6IM1GE/3._fort_macomb_detail.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - Fort Macomb Threat: Demolition by neglect In the wake of the War of 1812, Congress commissioned Fort Macomb to guard the Chef Menteur Pass into Lake Pontchartrain as part of an ambitious seacoast defense plan. Decommissioned in 1871, this historic site has remained for decades as abandoned ruins choked by weeds, further compromised by rising waters in 2005 during Hurricane Katrina. Named to the National Register of Historic Places in 1978, the fort is owned by the State of Louisiana, which evidently has neither the financial capability nor intent to care for this national treasure. Closed to the public, the fort was leased for filming in 2014 (HBO), 2015 (AMC), and in 2016 (Beyonce's video). If the state cannot address the rapidly advancing deterioration of the brick skeletal remnants, it should allow the intervention of more capable federal or private stewardship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337519673-EQM6XDQYHGW3ZBKEEDYW/4._636_royal_st.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - 636 Royal St. Threat: Demolition and neglect This imposing town house, one of the city's few remaining structures from New Orleans' Spanish colonial period, has significant structural issues. Located at the highly visual corner of Royal and St. Peter Streets, the Pedasclaux-Lemonnier House - renowned as the city's "First Skyscraper," and immortalized in literature as George Washington Cable's "Sieur George's" - figures as an integral component in the ensemble of late 18th-century buildings in the Jackson Square area. Inside, the oval second story drawing room is perhaps the most well-appointed space in the city. The Vieux Carré Commission has cited the owners of the building on numerous occasions for neglect, even filing a suit in 1988 in the Civil District Court for Demolition by Neglect. For the past forty years the house has been in the hands of the same family who, so far, have refused to do what is required to properly care for this grand landmark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337519762-2XOWX9FDXIVOJ8527FN5/5._468_st._joseph.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - 468 St. Joseph St. Threat: Demolition by neglect For decades, this once elegant Greek revival townhouse has steadily deteriorated in the rapidly developing downtown Warehouse District. For over twenty years, the Historic District Landmarks Commission has cited the property owners for allowing the property to deteriorate by neglect by not repairing the roof, millwork, gutters, masonry, and etc. Constructed for the Voisin family in 1846, according to the design of architect B.F. Nicholls, this was the home in the 1860s of banker Jean Baptiste Voisin. This property is located in a highly visible location in one of the city's most popular neighborhoods. If the long-term owners do not wish to maintain this fine three-story residence, it should be offered for public sale. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337520308-XKJF789BU0UHJJCK20W9/6._bywater_2.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - Bywater Neighborhood Threat: Explotative tourism For over two centuries Bywater has been a community of working class families. The small-scale character of the neighborhood today is threatened by proposed out-of-scale development, with the impact of traffic overwhelming its narrow streets. The 2010 Master Plan for New Orleans Tourism established the goal of doubling the annual number of visitors by 2018. Since then, the tourist sector has rapidly expanded beyond the Vieux Carré into the surrounding historic neighborhoods. Bywater today is being "reinvented" as a tourist destination with plans for a megacruise ship terminal, high density vacation condominiums, hotels/hostels/short term rentals, tourist oriented retail, and riverside condos that will wall off the community, without regulations similar to what protects the French Quarter. Planned developments for Bywater are a vivid illustration of the conflict between maintaining community values with the demands of tourism. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337520407-QRH1T6AN03WX050DRZSW/7._fountain_of_the_four_winds.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - Fountain of the Four Winds Threat: Deterioration and neglect Fountain of the Four Winds, one of Enrique Alférez's most extrodinary works, caused controversy after its 1936 installation at Shushan (today's Lakefront) Airport. Funded by the WPA and composed of concrete aggregate, hand finished to resemble sculpted sandstone, the fountain features four nude kneeling figures surrounded by an elliptical base adorned with statuary and reliefs. Legend has it that Alférez stood guard with a rifle until Eleanor Roosevelt stepped in demanding protection for the work. Today, it is threatened in a different way. Already in disrepair, the fountain was futher damaged during Katrina. Some rim elements were displaced and saline incursion infiltrated the porous material, continuing to cause fissures and erosion. With the award-winning restoration of the Art Deco terminal and the ongoing conservation of the interior Xavier Gonzalez murals, the restoration of the Four Winds would complete the artistic tout ensemble. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337521471-ARQJV76M7KAKQHBND3SZ/group_final_1.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - New Orleans Monuments Threat: Removal The public monuments of New Orleans, an inherited legacy from our ancestors, commemorate our city's 300 year history. Preservation of these iconic markers is not reverence, but a challenge to learn more about and to seek accommodation with our city's complex and diverse history. That challenge can be met by contextualizing and thoughtfully expanding the narratives offered by those monuments. Recently, a flawed public proces that sought to pass judgment on history through a contemporary lens resulted in a city council vote for removal of four monuments. Since, calls have suggested removal of many more. This represents a slippery slope that should be rejected. The divisive rhetoric generated by this process, combined with neglect and indifference to the value and beauty of these artifacts and of their contributions to the urban streetscape, needlessly exposes the monuments to the vagaries of man and nature, and represents ill-formed, ad hoc public policy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529337521005-BOHOFHA0I1AO37006XYW/9._2501_st._claude.jpg 2016 NOLA9 - 2501 St. Claude Ave. Threat: Owner requested demolition and neglect At first glance, one sees a sad remnant of a late 19th century camelback shotgun; but behind the graffiti and boarded-up windows, there is still a renovation opportunity for the historic St. Claude community. When the City Council approved its demolition, submitted by two high-profile New Orleanians to expand their gas station enterprise, neighbors opposed loudly. Their concerns finally resulted in a lawsuit. Details within that suit challenge ownership by alleging that New Orleans Redevelopment Authority inappropriately pulled the property from a sheriff's tax sale in 2012. This "priority bid" process placed it directly into the hands of private citizens for well below what other potential purchasers were prepared to bid. Additionally, neighbors cite the blight fines totaling more than $120,000 as evidence of poor stewardship of a historic resource. The active lawsuit has placed a temporary halt on the demolition of this classic structure, integral to the neighborhood. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2015-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425839392-O00OD0MH9SJ88S55797F/1_former_new_orleans_and_carrollton_rr_and_powerhouse_0.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - Former New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Powerhouse Threat: Demolition by Neglect A masterpiece of late 19th century American industrial architecture, the masonry power station located at the corner of Tchoupitoulas Street and Napoleon Avenue designed by New Orleans based architect Thomas Sully was built in 1892 for the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company. It was originally constructed to house turbines that converted water drawn from the nearby Mississippi River and artesian wells for the production of steam used by the railroad. While no longer used for its original function – it is reportedly still used by the Regional Transit Authority – this building is characteristic of Gilded Age commercial design that should be preserved. Potentially dangerous conditions urgently needing structural and masonry repairs are being ignored. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425839392-O00OD0MH9SJ88S55797F/1_former_new_orleans_and_carrollton_rr_and_powerhouse_0.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - Former New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Powerhouse Threat: Demolition by Neglect A masterpiece of late 19th century American industrial architecture, the masonry power station located at the corner of Tchoupitoulas Street and Napoleon Avenue designed by New Orleans based architect Thomas Sully was built in 1892 for the New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Company.

Fort Pike was completed in 1826 and saw action during the Seminole Wars, the Mexican War and the Civil War before being decommissioned in 1890. The fort’s waterside location made it ideal to protect New Orleans, but is now contributing to its endangerment. In addition to acute damage from recent hurricanes, less obvious problems such as wave action, rising damp and uneven soil settling are threatening the stability of the fort. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425839860-WRX2YFA4KFHMFNBOAOXG/3_924_euterpe.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - 924 Euterpe Threat: Demolition by neglect This is a fine example of a c. 1860-66 Greek revival double-galleried house, exemplary for its Lower Garden District location. Between 1866 and 1891, its owner and likely builder was Jeremiah Lincoln, a Maine native and proprietor of a local house raising company. When featured in the Friends of the Cabildo’s The Lower Garden District(1971), the building was still in relatively good condition, with its cast iron fence intact. Since 1980, however, the property has suffered from owner neglect. Numerous permits have been issued and fines levied by the Historic District Landmarks Commission, but no substantial improvements have occurred. Today extreme deterioration continues. Especially of concern is the gallery cornice which appears on the brink of collapse, endangering the adjacent picturesque cottage at 916 Euterpe. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425839923-A8KO2HG7XD84N2G4E2DX/4_518_eleonore.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - 518 Eleonore Threat: Owner requested demolition and neglect Largely obscured by overgrown trees and shrubbery, this c. 1860 galleried Creole cottage is the object of an unnecessary demolition request by its owner, a Nashville Avenue resident who purchased the house in November and plans to build a larger building on the lot. The home, a rare survivor of the antebellum period in old Hurstville, is in wholly repairable condition. A Creole cottage with classic floor plan and attached wings, it was built sometime after the 1858 purchase of the entire square by Francis Thomas, a butcher in the old uptown market between State and Eleonore Sts. The family resided in the cottage until 1890. The loss of this scarce link to the early days of Uptown would be irreparable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425840407-WONK06TNYXH6X94QBZEC/5_carrollton_courthouse.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - Carrollton Courthouse Threat: Deterioration, potential demolition and inappropriate development The Carrollton Courthouse was designed by the renowned architect Henry Howard. It once served as the Jefferson Parish seat of government and later housed various public schools. Today, the courthouse is the iconic architectural symbol of Carrollton. When the School Board sought in 1950 to raze the courthouse, a coalition of Carrollton residents and the newly-formed Louisiana Landmarks Society succeeded in saving it. Vacant since 2013, the courthouse could be auctioned to the highest bidder according to School Board plans. Because the courthouse is not a legally protected historic building, there is the possibility that it could even be demolished. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425840552-YIS3KA6L4FZ9TOKHLG0M/6_marsoudet_caruso_house.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - Marsoudet-Caruso House Threat: Deterioration In its 1977 New Orleans Architectural Series, the Friends of the Cabildo noted that this formerly elegant 1846 center-hall American cottage stood alone among commercial uses and vacant lots. The house was constructed for Mrs. Eliza Ducros Marsoudet by builders Nicholas Duru and Jacques Michel St. Martin. Still impacted by its environment and the nearby elevated interstate, the house has struggled to survive. In 2010 the future of the house was given new hope when Saint Anna’s Episcopal Church purchased the property in a lease-purchase agreement with the goal of turning it into a community center--Dodwell House--to expand their existing outreach programs. However, now the church is greatly challenged to raise funds to stabilize the building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425840822-JIYXFNG95RQZ6RRFF8IU/7_sw_greene.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - S. W. Green Mansion Threat: Demolition by neglect Son of a former slave, Smith Wendall Green made his fortune as a grocer and then as president of Liberty Independent Insurance. A delegate to Republican National Conventions and international officer of the Colored Knights of Pythias, Green was largely responsible for the 1909 construction of the Pythian Temple, an African American landmark, currently under renovation in the CBD. Weiss, Dreyfous & Seiferth, architects for Charity Hospital and the State Capitol, designed Green's 1928 Craftsman-style, 17-room mansion on S. Miro. Partially burned by the KKK during construction, it nevertheless became a symbol of African American achievement. “Discovered” in the footprint of the proposed VA hospital by preservationists, the privately-owned mansion was moved with help from VA and the City across Rocheblave from the new medical complex, where it sits in disrepair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425841100-P4WWFGYSV7BJXNXOT0FY/8_no_riverfront.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - New Orleans Riverfront Threat: Out of scale and incompatible development Written public comments to the City Planning Commission suggest that 98% of the public wants to keep longstanding height limits for the city’s historic neighborhoods. Nevertheless, the recently approved Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance (CZO), the final step in the city’s years-long Master Planning process, calls for additional height allowances either by changing the zoning map or applying an “overlay district” along the Mississippi River, allowing structures to qualify for a “height bonus” of 25 feet. A 50% increase in heights to 75 and 80 feet along the river would be permitted if developers use certain design elements. Neighborhoods fear a loss of historic “sense of place” and scale if mid-rise towers are introduced in century-old neighborhoods. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425841474-6Z7X62AUSED3QS5YLO40/9_touro_shakespear_house_.jpg 2015 NOLA9 - Touro Shakspeare Home Threat: Demolition by neglect The Touro Shakspeare Home in Algiers was constructed in 1933 as a municipal almshouse. Designed by local architect William R. Burk, the building combines elements of both Neo-Classical Revival and Jacobethan Revival styles, and is particularly notable for its diamond-patterned polychrome brickwork, symmetrical massing, stepped parapets, and prominent front portico. The institution, named for philanthropist Judah Touro and former mayor Joseph Shakspeare, functioned as a city-owned nursing home until 2005. Vacant since Hurricane Katrina, the building has deteriorated significantly in recent years. Despite the continued neglect, it appears that the distinctive structure still retains many original exterior features and could be renovated either by the City of New Orleans (the current owner) or a private developer. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2014-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529430930577-0XDUUTN7F3KQ929ISM7P/Blueplate-New-Orleans-e1509377202231.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - Potential loss of Federal Historic Tax Credits Threat: Possible elimination The Federal Historic Rehabilitation Tax Credit, which gives developers a tax credit worth 20 percent of qualifying restoration expenses for historically-appropriate renovations of buildings 50 years or older, is at risk. This poses a threat to the revitalization of historic buildings across the country. The credit has been under fire many times over its 30-plus year existence. There is one proposal in Congress to totally eliminate the tax credit, while another calls for reducing the tax credit by half.

Nicholls Threat: Lack of effective code enforcement 1500 Gov. Nicholls, at the corner of N. Villere in Tremé, is a19th century 2-story corner store with a detached 2-story residence in the rear. This historic building is vacant and blighted, with $20,000 of city liens and blight judgments dating to 2011 and earlier. Still, it remains open to the elements without abatement or attempt to remedy. This dilemma is similar for many structures throughout the city. The January 14, 2013 - City of New Orleans Code Enforcement Update offers an eleven-step lien foreclosure process for blighted buildings, but the city does not follow this process. The city must begin to follow a clear, consistent path toward the goal of resolving blight for historic buildings to prevent their loss. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529431400448-M5Z5G8QXCKPZE7QOV5W6/masterplan.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - New Orleans Master Plan Threat: Lack of sufficient planning staff and insufficient public understanding of planning process A 2008 City Charter change required New Orleans to create a Master Plan with the force of law to direct the future development of the City. The new Master Plan was adopted in 2010. Now, by law, all land use regulations, including zoning and capital expenditures, are req uired to be consistent with the Plan. However, the Master Plan is threatened because the Planning Commission does not have enough staff to successfully operate the planning process, and citizens generally do not understand how the new planning process functions and why it is advantageous to the community. For the Master Plan to function in a responsible manner, public funds must be appropriated to hire additional city planners, and the public must be educated about the value of the Plan to the City. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425896032-Y48W6WCMO89J5M9C3HB5/28259195948_7daa1271a8_b.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - Historic Holy Cross District Threat: Out of scale development A recent proposal to redevelop the former Holy Cross School site that is out of scale and character threatens the National Register Historic District with two 60’ five-story apartment towers imposed in the center of a neighborhood of single-story historic homes. The residents have voiced consistent opposition to the recently approved height of 60’. The proposal, with the drastic zoning change sought, is of much greater density and height than the 40’ previously permitted in the historic district. If built, this development will profoundly and adversely affect the historic neighborhood and set a precedent for others. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425894594-0CEIIWFMT7EEPVLJRE8Q/7300_st._charles_fabacher_mansion.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - 7214, 7300, and 7320 St. Charles Avenue Threat: Special exemption from local landmarking Greenville Hall, at 7214 St. Charles Ave. is an Italianate double gallery structure built for the Dominican nuns in 1882. 7300 St. Charles Ave. is a unique stone mansion designed for Peter Fabacher in 1907 by Toledano and Woogan. 7320 St. Charles Ave. is a Gothic residence built for Moise Levy, Jr. in1913. In 2012, the state legislature passed a bill sponsored by Representative Walt Leger that carved out a special exemption from local historic landmarking for particular properties along St. Charles Avenue owned or controlled by Loyola University. Any protection that the Historic District Landmarks Commission could have offered was eliminated by the passage of this bill, leaving these buildings on St. Charles Avenue between Broadway and Lowerline extremely vulnerable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425894487-999S4AW5QEYIIG2HAYN0/105-111Tchoupitoulas.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - 422 Canal Street, and 105, 109, and 111 Tchoupitoulas Street Threat: Demolition These buildings near the corner of Canal and Tchoupitoulas were all built circa 1840. These historically significant buildings are at risk due to the proposed development of a 21-story hotel on the site of these structures and on adjoining vacant properties. The Historic District Landmarks Commission denied the demolition of these buildings, and the developer appealed the decision to the City Council. The loss of this particular set of historic buildings would be considerable. Any new development must preserve these historic buildings and appropriately respect them in scale and relationship. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425898796-9HU9XHB93PT41JAFHRVT/42131197131_e1e9d708d9_b.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - 2517 Jackson Avenue Threat: Demolition Built in 1873, 2517 Jackson Avenue was the home to Wesley United Methodist Church in the 1950’s, the eighth-oldest African American church in the nation and the second-oldest in New Orleans. Wesley Church was established on South Liberty Street in 1838. This building served as a hub for the civil rights movement, and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. spoke in Wesley’s upstairs chapel. Now vacant, this solid historic masonry structure is a precious element along Jackson Avenue, representing both the history and community of Central City. Members of the community have indicated their concern that the building will be demolished for a parking lot. Work had begun to restore the building for use as a community center. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425897953-UHSI2RKCAA5WR42CH1JS/42131195881_f0dec7b2a6_b.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - Semmes Elementary Threat: City’s failure to force correction of violations Semmes Elementary School was built in 1900. It has been privately owned since 1985 and has remained vacant since Katrina. While most of the surrounding historic Holy Cross neighborhood is rebuilt after the storm, this building and its grounds remain a blighted public nuisance. Judgments and fines for blight have been placed upon the building by City Code Enforcement as recently as 2013, yet it appears that each time the fines were paid without the owner addressing the violations. The intent of fines and potential lien foreclosure is to motivate property owners to act responsibly for the health, safety and welfare of the public; therefore, blight fines should not be allowed to be paid without forcing the owner to correct the violations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529425895765-JB6E1DZBTJFAXTFQHME0/28259196098_412c5acdb6_b.jpg 2014 NOLA9 - Corner of Esplanade Avenue and North Rampart Street Threat: Inappropriate development The 85-block French Quarter (Vieux Carré) is our oldest National Register Historic District and still reflects the original city plan from 1721. The uptown river corner at North Rampart Street and Esplanade Avenue is its gateway and the edge to its fragile and dwindling residential sector. Currently, this corner consists of several vacant properties poised for development. The latest proposal called for the re-subdivision of three lots, consolidation of open spaces, perpetuation of an illegal billboard, and operation of an out-of-scale restaurant venue. Persistent diligence is required to ensure that any redevelopment of this invaluable corner is sensitive to residents and embodies the unique historic character of the City’s oldest sector. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2013-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426020892-BWK2U8T8H1UA5SHBG7NT/40324824810_5cd1847b24_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - World Trade Center Threat: Demolition The World Trade Center (WTC) building was designed in the 1960’s by Edward Durell Stone, one of America’s most prominent 20th century architects. A distinctive structure in the city skyline, the city-owned WTC building is in danger of being demolished even though it is perfectly serviceable and capable of being redeveloped. Two self-financed proposals have been presented to redevelop the building and both would generate income for the City. Destruction of this building would mark the loss of one more piece of mid-twentieth century architecture from the fabric of the city, echoing the loss of the Rivergate and other mid-century edifices. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426020892-BWK2U8T8H1UA5SHBG7NT/40324824810_5cd1847b24_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - World Trade Center Threat: Demolition The World Trade Center (WTC) building was designed in the 1960’s by Edward Durell Stone, one of America’s most prominent 20th century architects.

The boundaries, Rampart Street to Broad, Tulane Avenue to St. Bernard, include areas of Greater Tremé, Esplanade Ridge, Mid-City and the Historic 7th Ward neighborhoods, which have struggled successfully to recover after Katrina. The City and Housing Authority must take care to ensure that the development of the housing units, along with subsequent commercial endeavors, are sensitive to the historic community and living culture of this area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426022018-JIOFSU9XF67NNWAFTAZO/40324830470_2fe880aab8_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - Canal Street Ferry Service Threat: Loss of transportation route The first regularly scheduled ferry service between Canal Street and Algiers was established by the Louisiana Legislature in 1827. Today the ferries carry more than 1.1 million passengers a year. 2012 legislation transferred control of the ferries to the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, and an attempt to privatize the ferry system failed when no companies bid for operations. A bill recently signed by the Governor opens the door to possible operation of the ferries by the New Orleans Regional Transit Authority, but many issues remain unresolved. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426019614-QH5R8O18XKZX46K0AY6O/28259376068_4f02184928_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - St. Louis Cemeteries No. 1 & 2 Threat: Potential damage from Iberville Redevelopment St. Louis Cemetery No. 1 (c. 1796) is the oldest existing cemetery in New Orleans. Along with St. Louis Cemetery No. 2 (c. 1823), they are owned and operated by the Archdiocese of New Orleans. The cemeteries represent the early history of New Orleans, and are the final resting place of many prominent New Orleans families, particularly from the Creole population. Already in a fragile condition, the cemeteries are now threatened by the construction impacts from the impending demolition and reconstruction of the Iberville Redevelopment Project, located adjacent to both cemeteries. Extraordinary precautions must be taken to protect and preserve these extremely historic and highly visited sites before any work begins. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426024924-0VUADUV5D5DWJLRKUAHI/42085517772_417cfd7979_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - 1347 Esplanade Avenue Threat: Demolition by neglect This late nineteenth century Italianate Greek Revival style cottage attests to the era when elegant homes were built along the avenue by Creoles, many of whom left the French Quarter or moved into the city after the Civil War. Long dilapidated and slowly perishing, this proud house suffered a fire on Easter Sunday of 2013 that demolished the roof. Rain now freely pours into this irreplaceable building, causing further damage. Anchoring a prominent corner of Esplanade, this building cannot afford to be lost. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426019416-NC5GOWRFSXHMUVL5YK16/28259372528_fe76a70909_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - 1828-30 Baronne Street Threat: Demolition by neglect & insufficient protection for Landmark Buildings 1828-30 Baronne Street is one of two Italianate double gallery duplex residences built side by side shortly after the Civil War. The HDLC has given these buildings Landmark designation, rating them of major architectural importance. The house is important as one of a unique pair of historical buildings, as well as contributing to the fabric of the Central City National Register Historic District. Neglect by the current owner has left the house in a state of serious decline. Action by the city could save this property. Since this property is adjudicated to the city for nonpayment of taxes, it qualifies to go to tax sale, a solution which could ultimately preserve this building. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426026828-UTNR1DWGGYGXPRM884LT/42131540831_a237800dfc_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - 1831 Polymnia Street Threat: Demolition by neglect 1831 Polymnia Street was originally built as a school in the 1880’s, and today it is designated as a Landmark building of local architectural importance by the HDLC. Due to neglect this vacant and uninhabitable three story masonry structure is quickly becoming a public safety hazard. This building has visible holes in the roof and is completely open to the elements, with a street opening accessible to vagrants. The owner has received permits for a $4.8 million dollar, 13,000 square foot historic renovation approximately 100 feet away at 1731 Baronne, but no plans have been submitted to renovate or even stabilize 1831 Polymnia St. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426026832-7LYYLN5FNOU6DOX3VCK0/img_5404.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - Live Oak Canopy Threat: Damage from public works projects The sight of shaded streets gracefully lined with live oak trees is indicative of New Orleans. From the destruction of the longest line of live oaks in the nation for the construction of the Claiborne Expressway, to drastic trimming for power lines, live oak trees are frequently butchered or removed for public works projects. A recent example includes the branch mutilation and root damage suffered by trees aged 100 years and older on Napoleon Avenue in spring 2012 as the boulevard underwent a drainage system overhaul. The trees are also cut in order for the Corps of Engineers to get large cranes down the street, rather than using folding cranes with a lower travel height. It will be decades before the trees recover, and we will lose much of the scenic character of the city in the process. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426023841-GJKL88CNSTANTOZWH9JS/42085516212_b3016b4269_b.jpg 2013 NOLA9 - Blighted Occupied Residences Threat: Demolition by neglect & lack of code enforcement on occupied properties The presence of blighted properties has long been a pressing issue for New Orleans. While we often think of these properties as uninhabited, many are occupied. The city is currently rewriting the City Code in order to address occupied blight, but the solution is as complex as it is varied. An occupied home should not be lost to a city authority because the owner does not maintain it to government standards. Only proactive solutions that first stabilize a blighted residence can address the most complex cases while still respecting constitutional property rights. The city must strive to support homeowners while preserving the historic built environment of our neighborhoods. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2012-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426058957-C5KCB5SX81782NVSRC54/41231130125_14b2f7c03e_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - 1201 Baronne St,/ 1810 Clio St. THREAT: Legal quagmire precedent leading to neglect. This important, renovated corner store lingers in legal limbo. Local landmark status was awarded in 2004 and it is one of the few remaining 19th century corner store buildings in Central City. The property was purchased in deplorable condition at a tax sale and extensively rehabilitated. In the course of the project, however, the state law that permitted one to purchase and upgrade a property was changed, possible allowing the original owner to reclaim the property without reimbursing the renovator for his costs. The old law encouraged preservation through private action; however, the new law (RS47:2161) makes future protection unlikely. Today, run-down historic properties that have tax liens will face demolition through neglect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426058957-C5KCB5SX81782NVSRC54/41231130125_14b2f7c03e_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - 1201 Baronne St,/ 1810 Clio St. THREAT: Legal quagmire precedent leading to neglect.

This building has continued to decay due to neglect for many years. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426060087-ECNOWMAIK756JJB11CFM/41411691924_2e0958583b_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - 220-1300 Bourbon St. THREAT: Excessive noise, overcrowding, neglect Seventeen French Quarter buildings rated nationally important are threatened with excessive noise vibration, overcrowding, structural neglect, and the loss of historic fabric. The buildings range from late 18th century through mid-19th century. Careless proprietors are causing damage not only to the buildings they occupy, but also to the street and neighborhood as a whole. The situation demands a holistic approach to enforcement. The City and the courts must ensure that businesses on Bourbon Street follow the rules established by the City and the Vieux Carré Commission. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426059592-2VERNRBRHI8Q2TDVH511/41231132005_2f38f5c9e9_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - City Park Maintenance Building THREAT: Demolition by neglect Designed by architect Richard Koch and built by the WPA in the 1930s with historic bricks from the demolished 1831 Tremé prison, the City Park maintenance complex is approaching a state of no return. At some point reconstruction will not be economically feasible. Prior to Hurricane Katrina the complex building was in need of extensive repairs; since Katrina the building’s damage has accelerated. Portions of the main roof and exterior walls collapsed and have been open to weather conditions since the storm. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426061586-7GTFB5U69OY5T0O4PDHQ/42131650851_fbeedb4e0b_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - Kenner High School THREAT: Demolition by neglect One of Kenner’s few architectural landmarks, this National Register building sits empty and unused. It has been featured as a Historic American Buildings Survey site as well as on the Historic American Engineering Record. Although showing the marks of time, this Classical Revival Style building designed by William T. Nolan maintains its original charm. If renovated it would help contribute to the quality of life in Kenner and serve as an anchor for further development within the Historic Kenner area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426061384-4Z3XV0XJWV65AAMYL5HB/42131652121_51fc3c433a_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - Odd Fellows Rest Cemetery THREAT: Neglect Founded by the benevolent society of the International Order of Odd Fellows (I.O.O.F.) in 1831, Odd Fellows’ Rest is one of oldest and most beautiful cemeteries in New Orleans. Today it is an “orphan” cemetery, needing care and ownership. According to Save Our Cemeteries, there is but one elderly member of the New Orleans chapter alive. The historic property needs a permanent source of funding, a new legal caregiver such as Save Our Cemeteries, or adoption by the State for its maintenance. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426060201-1ITB1ABV0MS0AHOL0MG3/41411699584_28748edcc7_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - Sexton Cottages THREAT: Demolition Lafayette Cemetery No. 1, Lafayette Cemetery No. 2 and Holt Cemetery Sexton cottages are in imminent danger as the City of New Orleans has proposed their demolition and replacement with masonry structures clad in artificial wood siding. Louisiana Landmarks Society, working with other preservation organizations, has proposed lower cost alternatives that preserve their structural integrity while supporting the maintenance function. The structures are the last examples of 19th century cemetery cottages and their unnecessary loss would be tragic. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426058023-829N84487O2JLVI7SEVO/41231128825_a52046ef0e_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - U.S. Public Health Hospital THREAT: Neglect, future development This historic campus was originally the plantation brickyard of Polycarp Fortier and dates to 1830-1850. An important but deteriorated ante-bellum cottage on the side near Tchoupitoulas dates to the plantation era. The site was converted in the 19th century to a US Marine Hospital. It also contains a historic brick wall which is on the National Register, and a Director’s home facing the river. The domed, pentagonal early 20th century Naval hospital forms the principal hospital structure; Other Physicians’ quarters are now over seventy years old. The entire site is now threatened by neglect and the possibility of sale to private hospital interests without any preservation covenants. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426058534-LKYMXMAJ73TAY2UG7QLH/40324955050_4848b83df6_b.jpg 2012 NOLA9 - Houses Moved From VA/ University Hospital Site THREAT: Demolition by neglect Dozens Of houses moved from the Veteran Affairs Medical Center and University Hospital sites sit roofless, unallocated, and open to the weather. Of 165 contributing historic homes, approximately 84 were moved in what was likely the largest house-moving project in the U.S. While dozens of the houses were put on a track toward rehabilitation, many of the houses are in no better condition today than they were on the day they were moved. The house moving effort could have been a national model for saving historic homes and infilling historic neighborhoods, instead many homes now sit exposed and deteriorating. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2011-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426113923-LVWEVSV5XWOC243HA0V8/bechet_home_14_e-525x418.jpg 2011 NOLA9 - Buddy Bolden House THREAT: Demolition by neglect The Greater St. Stephens Baptist Church owns this late nineteenth century double shotgun cottage that was the family home of Charles “Buddy” Bolden, one of the founders of jazz. It was recently cited by the Historic District Landmarks Commission for demolition by neglect. New Orleans is dotted with landmarks that track jazz history. Especially now, many are threatened as the city pursues its demolition policy for blighted and vacant residences.

The 104-year-old library mainly sustained roof damage during Hurricane Katrina, and although it reopened in October 2005, it has been closed since May 2008 after city inspectors deemed the roof in imminent danger of collapse. To date no new library has been built near Algiers. Instead of directing funds to building new “storefront” (glass and steel) style libraries, members of the community would prefer to see this library restored and updated. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426114074-3K7UM8UT6XRHF6Z3LAZF/42131753191_176413b64e_b.jpg 2011 NOLA9 - Abandoned and Neglected Public School Buildings THREAT: “Mothballing,” neglect, fire, demolition, citywide. Facing shifting populations after Hurricane Katrina, the Orleans Parish School Board shuttered, or “mothballed,” schools instead of using FEMA repair money granted specifically for that school. Many have architectural importance, such as Phillis Wheatley School’s internationally recognized mid-twentieth century design. McDonogh #19 (pictured) was the first city school to integrate in 1960, a significant role during the Civil Rights Movement. The School Board should continue to auction these properties or consider creative adaptive reuse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426109925-KJIN3P92H1BT22UGQZ14/41231249905_f025aee051_b.jpg 2011 NOLA9 - Shotgun Houses on Mayor's Blight List THREAT: Demolition by the City, citywide. Beginning in the 1840’s, shotgun houses continue to be the vernacular residence of choice in New Orleans. Across the city, they reflect a textbook of architectural styles including Greek Revival, Eastlake Victorian, Bracketed Victorian, Italianate, Colonial Revival and Craftsman. In addition to aesthetics, shotguns are valued for their sustainable materials, their adaptability to renovation, and for their affordability for first-time homeowners. To make way for the LSU and VA hospital complex, shotguns are being demolished, decreasing their ubiquitous presence in the fabric of the city. Many are on the Mayor’s Blight Reduction List and slated for demolition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426108494-W4N9HHMMQI67GJW16M1K/41231247585_da69e949ce_b.jpg 2011 NOLA9 - Lustron House THREAT: Demolition The Lustron Corporation produced prefabricated homes to satisfy the post World War II housing demand. According to FEMA and the Louisiana State Historic Preservation Office, this house’s original condition qualifies it for National Landmark status. It retains enameled steel exterior panels, built-in cabinets, and interior paneling. Only a handful of these remain in the city. The Louisiana Land Trust auctioned the house recently, but the new owner has applied for its demolition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426111659-5MF49UHTL7CWOCK7KCH2/42085798562_f70ab73ff5_b.jpg 2011 NOLA9 - Valence Cemetery THREAT: Demolition by neglect The Valence Cemetery was laid out in 1867 to serve the city of Jefferson, a suburb incorporated into New Orleans in 1870. Owned and operated by the city, the cemetery receives no maintenance. Tombs and copings are disintegrating from root damage and vegetation growth. Some of the vaults are open and empty, sending a disgraceful message to visitors. The city should take pride in its historic cemeteries by respecting their sanctity and making them a safe place for visitors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426109576-93CYV43FGPRCUIVHF33J/42085792122_361cdffab1_b.jpg 2011 NOLA9 - Magnolia Bridge THREAT: Demolition by neglect This iron swing bridge was built in the 1880s to allow boats and barges to pass on Bayou St. John before it lost its status as a navigable waterway in 1936. At one point it carried a streetcar track, but now the pedestrian only bridge is a neighborhood gathering spot, a favored location for events, and used by bikers, joggers, dog walkers, Jazz Festers and Cabrini High students. Corrosion, deterioration from elemental exposure, and subsidence damage to the bulkheads and approach tarmacs threaten its existence.

Once a bakery, it is one of the few of its kind that abuts the property line at the street. Its position at the entrance to the business corridor of Magazine Street highlights its blighted condition. Through the Coliseum Square Association, the surrounding neighborhood fought blight for forty years to become an evocative neighborhood with one of the few large working fountains in the city. The city has yet to act on the owner’s negligence. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426110734-BW1GUYZZ1DFNBIGORPWS/42085797532_888dae73d4_b.jpg 2011 NOLA9 - St. Louis Cemetery Number Two THREAT: Demolition by neglect St. Louis No. 2 was founded in 1823 to alleviate overcrowding in St. Louis No. 1. and is the largest of the early Creole cemeteries. It is the final resting place of many historically important New Orleans figures, including Claude Tremé, architect James Freret, and jazz musician Danny Barker. The cemetery flooded during Hurricane Katrina, and today, the Archdiocese’s negligence allows the cemetery to suffer from vandalism and decay. Steps should be taken for its stabilization and maintenance. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2010-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426152567-YCZO8A5PSV5ZJYNQ662J/40325141690_4b52432b62_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Audubon Park Tennis Courts and Avenger Field THREAT: Commercial development For decades, in accordance with the 1929 mission of the Audubon Park Natatorium, citizens have enjoyed the use of Avenger Ball Field and Audubon Tennis Courts, located on land purchased from the Texas and Pacific Railroad in 1949. This land is marked as green space in the new Master Plan for New Orleans. Yet the Audubon Park Commission, steward of the park, has recently entertained an offer to lease the ball field and tennis courts for private commercial development. As long as the Commission is willing to consider this option, the green space will remain threatened. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426152567-YCZO8A5PSV5ZJYNQ662J/40325141690_4b52432b62_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Audubon Park Tennis Courts and Avenger Field THREAT: Commercial development For decades, in accordance with the 1929 mission of the Audubon Park Natatorium, citizens have enjoyed the use of Avenger Ball Field and Audubon Tennis Courts, located on land purchased from the Texas and Pacific Railroad in 1949.

Listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1974, the façade’s various motifs, in unfaded colors, epitomize the Art Deco approach to geometric pattern as does no other New Orleans building. Although the building is actively used for storage, its one-of-a-kind façade, visible from Orleans Avenue, is in need of preservation. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426160421-VCQN25G193LN75FRJFBY/41411864184_acf1e948af_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Professor Longhair's House THREAT: Demolition by neglect Henry Roeland Byrd, (1918 - 1980), aka. Professor Longhair, New Orleans Rock ‘n Roll pianist and songwriting legend, lived modestly, often reclusively, in the house at 1740 Terpsichore in Central City. During his life, “Fess” was mostly unknown beyond New Orleans, poverty stricken, even with many hits including the Mardi Gras anthem Big Chief . After his death, Professor Longhair received a Grammy in 1987 and was inducted into the Rock ‘n Roll Hall of Fame in 1992. His house, a late nineteenth century two-story, is owned by his descendants but appears to be uninhabitable. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426155847-G1RL76VH9QDRCKH2D6IH/40325147060_3ec38bd5f5_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Dew Drop Inn THREAT: Demolition by neglect Famed for African American entertainment from 1945 – 1970, the two buildings that comprise the Dew Drop Inn incorporated a barber shop, restaurant, barroom, and a hotel. Opened in 1939 by the Painia family, the club featured national, regional and local acts. One blues singer remembered it as “the foundation for musicians in New Orleans...If you couldn’t get a gig at the Dew Drop, you weren’t about nothing.” The Dew Drop Inn was designated a local Landmark in January, 2010, but the structure remains in dire need of repair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426159792-SY0GJSQRK2DT2IYNB31B/41231325975_d2d05756ef_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - New Orleans Bracketed House THREAT: Demolition by neglect and illegal intrusion This excellent example of the New Orleans Bracketed Shotgun was constructed in 1889 as one of a trio. The City purchased it in 1911 for use as a custodial residence of the adjacent school. It is now abandoned and in a state of extreme neglect and deterioration. The Orleans Parish School Board has asked the State BESE Board to return control of the school and its custodial cottage to the School Board to be designated as surplus for disposition and/or adaptive reuse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426155902-3F474VR67OLX81Y5DJM1/41231323525_7c7e9fde48_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Police Jail and Patrol Center THREAT: Demolition by neglect Owned by the City of New Orleans, this beautiful 1902 Queen Anne style structure is for sale. Its location within the Bayou Road African American Heritage Cultural District entitles the owner to a 50% tax credit toward restoration if the building is used for commercial purposes for five years, or a 25% tax credit if it is used as a residence. The appraised value of over one million dollars is not realistic, and without a buyer, the lovely “jail” will continue to be a victim of demolition by neglect. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426152684-6CWI0QJHC0CNC7N66RYG/40325141070_47dbd90277_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Abandoned and Decommissioned Churches and Places of Worship THREAT: Demolition by neglect, fire, vandalism, citywide. Many New Orleans churches have been abandoned in favor of larger, more centralized places of worship. Creative adaptive reuse, such as the St. Alphonsus Community Center development, should be actively sought for all these lovely buildings, many of which deteriorate while awaiting buyers, such as Felicity St. Methodist Church. Others, like Chevra Thilim Synagogue in Broadmoor, are slated for demolition. St. Maurice Catholic Church (pictured), built in 1852 in Holy Cross neighborhood, has been closed since Hurricane Katrina. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426154707-NCYKFY4XBRACS620R9T6/41231321995_c6b331f037_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Mid-City Historic District THREAT: Confiscation and rezoning residential neighborhood for medical services district This National Register neighborhood contains hundreds of Italianate, Colonial Revival, and Bungalow/Craftsman structures. Threatened by plans to create a twenty-seven block hospital district, proposals for a medical services district endanger a larger area—stretching from Loyola to South Carrollton, and Earhart to Iberville. These affected areas of Mid-City need local historic district oversight and protection such as that offered by the Historic District Landmark’s Commission. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426153662-8IF5HT4990PM2KZUSZYP/41231320845_a8d6814b30_b.jpg 2010 NOLA9 - Lafayette Cemetery Number One THREAT: Neglect, vandalism, root damage. Lafayette Cemetery was laid out by Benjamin Buisson in 1833 to serve the Protestant founders of the Garden District. Two massive oak trees now threaten over thirty historic tombs. Owned and operated by the City, the cemetery also suffers from inadequate grounds keeping, improper tomb maintenance and lack of supervision of film crews who use and abuse this historic site. What happens to the fees paid for the privilege of filming here? https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2009-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426208213-SVNCWL6L13DD7U9GRTMF/41412111774_0208511490_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - 400 Block South Rampart Street THREAT: Demolition by Neglect. The significant buildings in this block include: 401-03 S. Rampart, the Odd Fellows Ballroom/Eagle Saloon; 413-15 S. Rampart, the Iroquois Theater; and 427-31 S. Rampart, the Karnofsky Tailor Shipp and Residence. Very little remains of the physical fabric of jazz history in New Orleans. These three buildings are noted for their contribution to that history, as well as the cultural history of New Orleans and the local African-American community. These buildings continue to deteriorate from neglect. As icons of both jazz and African-American history, their restoration should be a primary focus of the city where jazz was born. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426208213-SVNCWL6L13DD7U9GRTMF/41412111774_0208511490_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - 400 Block South Rampart Street THREAT: Demolition by Neglect.

This three-story, masonry, former elementary school was designed by City architect E. A. Christy. The school was closed in 2002 and damaged by fire in 2008. Local architects have vouched for the structural soundness of the building overall, but it has not been secured and is exposed to the elements and to vagrants. The building is slated for demolition in the 2008 School Facilities Master Plan. This is a sturdy and significant building that could be declared surplus, sold, and reused. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426200742-KMSSKO2EUY86EPLFTH0A/27262032917_c9c91dcde6_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - Hubbell Library THREAT: Neglect, roof damage. The library first opened in December 1907 and for almost sixty years, it was the only public library in New Orleans' West Bank. The library did not sustain damage from Hurricanes Katrina and Rita and reopened in October 2005. In May 2008, city inspectors deemed the room in imminent danger of collapse and ordered the library closed. The promised immediate actions to repair and renovate the library in 2008 have yet to commence. There is strong local support for renovating and reopening this neighborhood library. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426216387-NJF3CUY9VYFAZXPVXDPA/42132249011_79604a8363_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - LaSalle Elementary School Formerly NOCCA THREAT: Neglect, abandonment. The former New Orleans Center for Creative Arts is a prominent and unique building in a primarily residential neighborhood. In 2000, NOCCA moved out of the building to the riverfront and the building has been vacant ever since. Alumni include Wynton Marsalis and Harry Connick, Jr. among many others. Due to neglect and deferred maintenance, the building's condition continues to worsen. In the 2008 School Facilities Master Plan, the building is slated for "complete replacement," although the structure is still viable and would function well in a variety of public and private uses. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426217328-5559BK4EZDE4JN4BMEOT/42132252651_e70d00b757_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - The Orpheum Theater THREAT: Demolition by neglect, flood damage, exposure to the elements. The Orpheum Theater opened in 1921 as a vaudeville theater and in the 1930s was renovated to accommodate motion pictures. Designed by American theater architect G. Albert LAn https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426211537-LFOTDUYSST2TTU36QY2N/41412281344_6b92dea433_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - Charity Hospital THREAT: Neglect, abandonment, potential demolition. A premier example of Art Deco architecture in New Orleans, this massive, 20-story structure was build by Weiss, Dreyfous and Seiferth. The loss of Charity Hospital as a functional medical hub would have a lasting impact on the future development of the area. Charity Hospital was previously included on the 2007 list, but is listed again in 2009 due to the continued and heightened threat of abandonment and the lack of resolution on the future location of the hospital. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426212856-U249RH2UREBP7SYCQEWJ/41412288124_f04f2f20ba_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - Downtown Riverfront Neighborhoods (French Quarter, Faubourg Marigny, and Treme) THREAT: Industrial riverfront development. The preservation of the Downtown Riverfront Neighborhoods as active residential and tourist areas is threatened by plans to construct a heavy industrial plant on the Governor Nichols and Esplanade Avenue Wharfs. The location of the proposed plant would endanger the historic residential neighborhoods, which are too important to our identity and economic prosperity to put them at risk through the construction of heavy industrial uses at the very heart of this historic city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426206153-GJ5BRUTZMXAFPR5E4B0V/28260094538_7363e27ce7_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - Overseer's House at New Orleans Adolescent Hospital THREAT: Neglect. The Overseer's House, a Creole cottage with attached side wings and front gallery, is the oldest structure on the New Orleans Adolescent Hospital (NOAH) site. No plantations remained on the east bank of New Orleans by 1844, and surviving examples of plantation-related buildings are extremely rare. The building also served the site's occupancy as a sawmill and brickyard, and later as a main residence for Marine Hospital personnel, and then US Public Health Services personnel. The building as been allowed to deteriorate and the abandonment of the site leaves the future uncertain. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426203439-NV8YH3GNS5ESUOE2HLLA/41231773065_f775d82578_b.jpg 2009 NOLA9 - New Orleans Center For the Education of Adults THREAT: Slated for demolition. The former McDonough 16 elementary school is located in both the historic Seventh Ward and the New Marigny Historic District. DEsigned by E. A. Christy, it exhibits his distinctive multi-light windows on all elevations. The school is a three story, masonry structure with a tile roof. The fenestration is predominantly intact and the tile roof does not have any major damage. According to the 2008 School Facilities Master Plan, the building is slated for demolition, although it would be an excellent candidate for public or private reuses. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2007-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426259350-7LLRKXNDI7WTLLTBXBPM/2186082076_a3d0dee336_z.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - Lafitte Housing Development Threat: Demolition The Lafitte complex is important in the history of public housing in New Orleans because of its early place in the Wagner Act Housing Program in the late 1930s. New Orleans was the first city in the United States to benefit from the Wagner Act, with six large developments placed across the City. Lafitte was developed as the African-American counterpart to the nearby whites-only Iberville Housing Development, and features many of the same architectural and planning details that garnered Iberville a spot on our 2005 Most Endangered list: masonry construction, fireplaces, wooden windows, tile roofs, cooper flashing, porches and galleries with decorative wrought iron railings, and courtyard-oriented structures. There are 77 low-rise, row house-style buildings on the site, along with an Administration Building. The layout, typical of 1930s public housing developments and college campuses, is a major character-defining feature. The prevailing urban grid is blocked off to create green spaces and the buildings are arranged in C-shaped clusters that face each other to form large courtyards. Hurricane Katrina’s flooding did enter the first floors of most of the buildings, but the masonry construction and plaster walls were remarkably resilient to the effects of the water. Yet the buildings have remained closed and are now slated for demolition by the Department of Housing and Urban Development. There could be viable alternatives to total demolition of this historic housing development, such as incorporating the renovated buildings into a redevelopment plan. The buildings feature solid construction, quality materials, good design and a workable plan with mature landscaping, all of which could be reused to help provide affordable housing, while maintaining our historic architecture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426259350-7LLRKXNDI7WTLLTBXBPM/2186082076_a3d0dee336_z.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - Lafitte Housing Development Threat: Demolition The Lafitte complex is important in the history of public housing in New Orleans because of its early place in the Wagner Act Housing Program in the late 1930s.

Claiborne and Elysian Fields Avenues. Circa 1830s to 1940s. Known to locals by a variety of names, the New Marigny Historic District was recognized by the State Historic Preservation Office and the National Park Service and was listed in the National Register of Historic Places in 1994. The area took form when developer Bernard de Marigny found it necessary to extend his Faubourg beyond its St. Claude Avenue boundary. Surveyor Joseph Pilie completed the plans for the expansion. The upriver portion is a remarkably intact mix of buildings, most of them dating from the early-to-late 19th century. Creole cottages and shotguns, many reflecting the stylistic changes that swept through the City over various decades, dot the streetscapes. Hurricane Katrina’s winds and water spared much of the neighborhood, but many of the houses were already in some state of disrepair. There is no design review or regulation of changes to a building’s appearance, which has led to a rash of inappropriate remodeling efforts that undermine the architectural integrity of many buildings. Original wood doors, wood windows and wood siding are being replaced with mass-produced modern building products that are often not suitable for historic structures. An even greater threat is the total loss of buildings through demolition. If the current trend continues, the area’s National Register Historic District designation may be in jeopardy, because it will lose so much of its integrity. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529432755565-5Z2XTGMOQ6C9T49T5631/Perseverancehall.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - PERSEVERANCE SOCIETY HALL Threat: Lack of public awareness and funding for restoration This former benevolent society hall, with its Mission-style parapet, represents an important part of the City’s cultural and jazz heritage. The Perseverance Society, an antebellum benevolent society founded by Creoles of color, hosted early 20th century dances, funerals and parades, and played a significant role in the development of jazz. Musicians Buddy Bolden, Joe Oliver, Sidney Bechet, Sam Morgan and others played in the still-intact and now-rare musician’s mezzanine or bandstand, required in a time before amplification. Most of the other African-American benevolent society buildings nearby have been altered beyond recognition, or demolished, the fate of many of the City’s jazz sites. The entire building, now the Holy Aid and Spiritual Comfort Church, was threatened with demolition in Spring 2007 when neighborhood residents complained to the City about the collapsing camelback addition, damaged significantly by Hurricane Katrina’s winds. After many attempts by concerned preservationists and the owner, the City finally granted a permit to remove the compromised addition. Deconstruction of the addition has been completed and the rear of the main structure secured. But funding is still needed to restore the church, which currently lacks electricity for its congregation’s weekly services. Missing weatherboards and windows are among the items that must be repaired. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426260228-RNLZAIIPZQUFD9UMORYE/d6f43aaf7fd8e04c7f11fa2368582af4--joy-theater-hurricane-katrina-new-orleans.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - DOWNTOWN THEATERS - Saenger, Loew’s State (Palace), Orpheum, Joy, Gallo, Dixie and Clabon theaters Threat: demolition by neglect, architectural and structural degradation Update: Sadly, the Gallo Theater was demolished this summer, but the 2007 legislative session resulted in the passage of the Broadway South tax credit program, which has the potential to generate interest in and funding for the remaining historic theaters. These seven theaters stand as symbols of a time before television, when entertainment for the American public meant going to a vaudeville show or Hollywood movie. They had been under utilized or completely dark for years before Hurricane Katrina inflicted further damage. The Saenger Theatre, designed by architect Emile Weil, flooded and has remained vacant since the storm, as has the Thomas W. Lamb-designed, circa 1926 Loew’s State (Palace), at one time the largest theater in the city. The Canal Street Orpheum, a vaudeville house-turned-movie theater, and Joy, built in the 1940s and wired for television, also flooded and remain closed. The Gallo, Dixie and Clabon theaters have significant structural problems. The roof at the Gallo burned, and heavy timber roof trusses at the Dixie were toppled by the storm. The façade of the Clabon is detaching from the structure. Discount shops operate in some of the Canal Street theater spaces, leading to a further loss of architectural integrity. These theaters would benefit from proposed state legislation – known as Broadway South – to give tax credits to the performing arts industry and to theater owners for renovation. Those breaks, coupled with federal tax incentives for rehabilitating income-producing historic buildings, could spur the redevelopment of Canal Street and surrounding areas. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426260521-OHVS00LO0YHHYD6HNV61/bb22154cb4c34f27515ee602b11b22d9.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - CHARITY HOSPITAL THREAT: neglect, hurricane damage, potential demolition This massive Art Deco structure has been a beacon for New Orleanians seeking health care since it opened its doors to patients in 1939. The hospital, once one of the premier teaching facilities in the Southern region and the best source of diagnostic medicine and trauma care in the area, flooded during Hurricane Katrina, leaving hundreds of patients and staff stranded. It has not reopened in the two years since and is in desperate need of repairs to its storm-damaged interior. While it may not be feasible to reopen Charity as a hospital, the valuable downtown location has potential alternative uses, such as a senior care facility, specialized medical clinics or even housing for workers in the surrounding medical district. As one of the most important structures designed by the firm Weiss, Dreyfous, Seiferth, the potential loss of Charity Hospital would erase an important artifact of Louisiana’s architectural heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426261030-8Y28QCGYJD2GFER331Y5/NORA.png 2007 NOLA9 - NEW ORLEANS REDEVELOPMENT AUTHORITY’S REALM PROPERTIES THREAT: Government inaction NORA’s REALM (Real Estate Acquisition and Landbanking Mechanism) program was created to jump-start private investment in focus areas by making blighted properties readily available to non-profits, individuals, and investors. Its impact, therefore, stood to be profound. Unfortunately, NORA’S efforts have stalled, leaving the REALM properties stuck in limbo, unavailable for purchase and deteriorating rapidly. NORA’s other signature effort, the Blighted Properties Removal Program, allowed private entities to force the sale of legally blighted properties. This effort has been on indefinite hiatus since Katrina. NORA now sits in the odd position of being a perpetuator of blight. The revival of one or both programs could make a huge difference to the recovery of historic and newer neighborhoods alike. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426259145-9OHKVKMR998J59H99JRH/3e25a1640cd869469e628c61198d2c55--abandoned-asylums-abandoned-places.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - LAKEVIEW SCHOOL THREAT: Neglect, Hurricane Damage Taking its name from the surrounding neighborhood, the former Lakeview Public School was designed by local architect E. A. Christy, New Orleans’ most prominent municipal architect for 40 years, who also designed Warren Easton, Mc Main, and Rabouin schools. The school embraced many elements of the emerging Craftsman style, including deep eaves, heavy wooden brackets, and wood shingles on the facades. The school had been unoccupied for several years, but was badly damaged by the floodwaters that submerged the whole area after the post-Katrina levee failures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426262023-HLOFSHS0JO1C2YN5FZPD/RGusteStRoch.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - ST. ROCH MARKET THREAT: neglect Update: The St. Roch Market received funding from FEMA for a new metal roof and basic structural repairs. It is an anchor in one of the City’s new “target zones” for redevelopment, raising hopes that it will receive further funding and attention from the City. Of the dozens of historic public markets which once dotted the city, St. Roch is one of the few still standing. Nestled on a narrow neutral ground in the neighborhood of the same name, the market was built in 1875 as an open-air space, with 24 cast iron columns at the perimeter and a steamboat design scheme. A WPA renovation in the 1930s added such luxuries of the day as refrigeration and plumbing. The building was enclosed after World War II, when the public market system was dissolved and the building was threatened with demolition. Only public outcry saved it. Post Hurricane Katrina, the market sits vacant, awaiting a return to public use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529426262019-8LBZA8OBOL05W31CPL81/tumblr_mxgmp7bFbu1qe7vo3o1_500.jpg 2007 NOLA9 - HISTORIC SHUSHAN TERMINAL COMPLEX THREAT: neglect, hurricane damage Update: Shushan Terminal at the Lakefront Airport has been declared eligible to receive funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to repair the damage received from Katrina. The concrete exterior panels from 1964 have been removed, and the exterior may be restored soon. The interior, which remains amazingly intact, is still in need of repair and restoration, particularly the return of the central atrium and the two missing murals (one resides with the State Museum and the other is unaccounted for). An outstanding and rare local example of the Art Deco period, the Shushan Terminal Complex, now known as New Orleans Lakefront Airport, was designed by the firm of Weiss, Dreyfous and Seiferth and built in 1934. The design motif was continued in the decoration, which included numerous murals by WPA artist Xavier Gonzales. Aside from its architectural significance, the terminal played an important role in aviation history – when built, Shushan was the largest airport in the United States, and Amelia Earhart stayed there prior to her final global flight. During the “golden age of travel,” it served nearly one million passengers. The damage began with a 1964 renovation, when many of the murals were either covered or removed, and the atrium was enclosed to create office space. Further damage occurred when Hurricane Katrina pummeled the structure. Despite the damage, Shushan remains in good condition and this gem of New Orleans’ Art Deco heritage should be restored. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2008-nola9 daily 0.75 2018-06-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529519295061-BW7HQZ99JPX5TOKGU6NR/phillis-wheatley-elementary-1957jpg-78566b57b724ce47.jpg 2008 NOLA9 - Mid Century Modern Public School THREAT: Planned demolition, neglect, hurricane damage The Recovery School District is in the process of finalizing the School Facilities Master Plan for Orleans Parish, which could effectively erase mid-century modern school facilities from the City of New Orleans.

But the venerable old building suffered flooding, wind damage, and rampant looting after Hurricane Katrina, and remains vacant and in deplorable condition. The massive masonry building is located in the Mid-City National Register Historic District, and has been nominated as a local landmark by the HDLC.

FRANCIS DE SALES Threats: Neglect, abandonment Designated an HDLC City Landmark in 1977, this church was on the most recent list from the Archdiocese to close and merge with a neighboring parish. Located in the middle of the Central City National Register Historic District, St. Francis de Sales parish was established around 1870. In the late 1960s the church became one of the first Catholic congregations in America to initiate a “Black Liturgy,” integrating gospel music and other African American cultural traditions into the traditional Catholic mass. The church also provided the first home for the nationally recognized Dashiki Project Theater. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1529520230475-VLKH0I5OHZRQ8OT93Y2L/SchoolBuilding_resized.jpg 2008 NOLA9 - Custodial Cottages Threat: Demolition, neglect The custodial cottages are small residential structures dating from the late 19th and early 20th centuries that were constructed on school grounds to house the custodian/ caretaker. Many New Orleans schools had these quaint residences, but over the years, the School Board phased out this program, and now most have been demolished, and the remaining few are in extreme danger of demolition. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2017-awards-for-excellence daily 0.75 2018-07-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531426323667-SZGEXT39BUI7P7VB08EV/After+Exterior+1.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - ACE Hotel Ace Hotel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531426323667-SZGEXT39BUI7P7VB08EV/After+Exterior+1.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - ACE Hotel Ace Hotel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531428672722-G87PA07EQER3U1IEN0TH/A9Re9sbsi_1sp3mzg_buc.png 2017 Awards for Excellence - 208 Bienville 208 Bienville https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531428733646-JOS4I6BO1COHX56BF9Q3/After+Exterior+night+-+The+Broad+Theater.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - The Broad Theater The Broad Theater https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531428752941-V101JUWIZRC80K1JRW35/After+Exterior+-+Catahoula.jpeg 2017 Awards for Excellence - Catahoula Hotel Catahoula Hotel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531429373306-0TCGQOIIPLS586QOGIMH/05._facade_-_rampart2.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - Facade Renew Facade Renew https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531430226514-S4M1CXH1DP1CH310RMBZ/After+Exterior+Corner+-+Factors+Row.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - Factor's Row Factor’s Row https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531430270943-SFOGI1BD6Q9I2XAZKCQY/After+Exterior+-+Felicity.png 2017 Awards for Excellence - Felicity Church Felicity Church https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531511555069-0RNCA3HV2I79R3M3KTXW/08._gallier_hall.png 2017 Awards for Excellence - Gallier Hall Gallier Hall https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531511655337-092BSMYVRPEAVFPXU3GB/HGGHH.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - The Hermann-Grima House The Hermann-Grima House https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531511808026-KFCK5G3TW1SNIIQZN3CO/After+Exterior+-+822+Howard.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - 822 Howard 822 Howard https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531511810356-8XVA0BA32YABY9TW4OJU/After+Exterior+Front+Entrance+-+Lusher.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - Lusher Lusher https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531511989378-A0US0KD9STJYFAD8X1Z6/After+-+Exterior.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - May & Ellis May & Ellis https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531512217855-APAOC12MBUF5IA79XK2I/2014_Milne-Boys-Home-Complex_Image.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - Milne Boys Home Milne Boys Home https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531512256094-WPO0L1EE6AU0RREMK38U/After+Exterior+Entrance+-+Pontchartrain+Hotel.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - The Pontchartrain Hotel The Pontchartrain Hotel https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531512484649-0H9O1LI4LFMVGGITMPXQ/After+Exterior.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - Sadlier Residence Sadlier Residence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1531512606798-W7DV0XBTDX9Y37WYCUWW/Sophie+B.+Wright+Images+and+Docs.jpg 2017 Awards for Excellence - Sophie B.

Today, damaged and partially roofless, this landmark is deteriorating; yet its brilliance shines to inspire anyone with eyes and heart. Note: In May of 2019, after being cited for code violations, the owners of the General Laundry building boarded the windows and doors, removed plant growth, and painted concrete portions of the exterior. However, a hole remains visible in the roof. This stop-gap measure to satisfy code enforcement falls well short of true restoration. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1559942338954-YHE17VX53B7J3ATJ7GJ2/1016+N.+Roman.jpg 2019 NOLA9 - Three Bay Creole Cottage Location: 1016 N.

Designed by architect Sam Stone, Jr., the store was named for the St. Bernard Ave. traffic circle destroyed by the construction of Interstate 10. The grocery, acquired from the city in 1938 by an African-American vendor, replaced the St. Bernard Market, one of 36 markets. Following Hurricane Katrina, the building underwent an $8 mil. renovation. It reopened in 2014 but was inundated again by the infamous August 5, 2017 flood and another 8 months later. Financial woes forced an auction of the Mission Revival building in 2019, and now tension rises as the neighborhood waits to see if the new owner will redevelop the store in a way that serves the nearby community. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1559942330103-98IEEMXY3J1KOR2LSJ2P/Broad+Steet+Pumping+Station.jpg 2019 NOLA9 - Sewerage and Water Infrastructure Location: Citywide Threat: Deteriorated Infrastructure, Pumping and Power Systems due to Longstanding Lack of Funding and Political Prioritization With the innovation of the Albert Baldwin Wood’s Screw Pumps and drainage system, New Orleans was a world leader in urban water management--reducing disease conditions, making land available for modest homes and allowing the city’s economy to grow. Recent decades of neglect and political maneuvering, coupled with a lack of investment and prioritization of the infrastructure, have led to precarious storm and drinking water systems. Repeated episodes of flooding and boil-water advisories threaten our historic structures, resources, culture and tourism dollars. We are at a critical juncture that requires heavy investment in our infrastructure. Note: The 2019 state legislative session provided an emergency cash infusion to the Sewerage and Water Board, but the sustained maintenance funding needed. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1559942158357-FF6TM9W4PW1R34AZITOK/48014118312_2dcc328f9c_k.jpg 2019 NOLA9 - McDonogh No. 7 School Location: 1111 Milan St., Uptown Threat: Demolition by Neglect Designed by renowned architect William A. Freret, this stately brick edifice is one of the oldest remaining McDonogh currently Schools houses Audubon in New Orleans. Charter The School, building, has endured which years of deferred maintenance. Citing the cost of renovation, Orleans Parish The School Board Board recently classified it as surplus property, sparking litigation from concerned neighbors. OPSB is reported to be negotiating a property swap with the Housing Authority of New Orleans. While New Orleans has several examples of schools converted into housing, the the lack of specific plans and commitments from HANO has stoked concerns that the building could further deteriorate or be threatened with intentional demolition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560084692080-EDNW2PPBVQGXSC2HIX2V/StJosephSt4136.jpg 2019 NOLA9 - Belgian Paving Stones Location: 600-800 St. Joseph Street, Lafayette Square Threat: Disrepair and Lack of Maintenance With a rough, durable surface that became disfavored with the emergence of automobiles, the mid-nineteenth century paving stones covering city streets were mostly paved over with asphalt in the early twentieth century. Called Belgian blocks, stones remained in place and served as foundational support for the new street sur- face. On only a handful of streets did the stones remain exposed, lending an undeniable charm and authenticity to the historic streetscape. St. Joseph Street from Bar- onne to Camp was among those few streets that man- aged to retain its exposed paving stone surface. Today the paving stones are threatened by chronic neglect and years of construction projects along St Joseph Street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1559942360711-507MC62SZUVG4XQYBDJE/425+Celeste.JPG 2019 NOLA9 - 425 Celeste Street Location: 425 Celeste St., Lower Garden District Threat: Demolition by Neglect or Full Demolition This three-story Greek revival style store-house stands as a lonely reminder of the importance of the riverfront area of the Lower Garden District in the economic development of 19th Century New Orleans. Today this significant circa 1865 commercial remnant faces several threats, the most immediate of which is demolition by neglect. Architectural details such as cast-iron columns are weathering and falling off, and several column capitals are missing. While cited as a contributing element to the National Register’s Lower Garden District, it does not fall within the Historic Districts Landmark Commission’s jurisdiction local protection. A second threat to this building is that it will be consumed by the large-scale development planned in the immediate area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1559942334062-BJOMCYJIYH8CDIMS03OB/5763+Dauphine+St+1.jpg 2019 NOLA9 - Creole Cottage Location: 5763 Dauphine St., Holy Cross Threat: Demolition by Neglect and Blight Removal City agencies have three times cited the owners of this circa 1880 Creole cottage in the Holy Cross Historic District for blight. Built in the rear of the former Charbonnet Plantation, the cottage was once part of a farming area. Owned by a single family for most of its existence, the cottage has little by little lost its family as generations died or moved away. The issue of joint or missing owners is a prevalent threat to homes in many neighborhoods. Recent city liens have increased the likelihood of demolition. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1559942329751-QVAYVZSBPB72BMBU57YM/N.+Theaters+3.JPG 2019 NOLA9 - Neighborhood Theaters Location: Citywide Threat: Demolition by Neglect; Failure to Repurpose The neighborhood theater, like the corner grocery, was once a familiar and welcoming sight throughout the city. Built before the development of television and the widespread use of the automobile, they were accessible on foot or by bicycle. These theaters were places where friends and families could meet and enjoy the latest Hollywood movies. Over time, changes in technology that allowed movie viewing at home or at multiplex theaters in area shopping malls, along with the migration of people from city to suburbs resulted in much reduced attendance. Consequently, most neighborhood theaters were closed and the buildings sold, with some demolished or left to decay, leading to the disappearance of a much loved institution. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2019-awards-for-excellence daily 0.75 2019-12-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560369179596-PNUXTZS5EJWV7BM41KJC/McDonogh+After+%285%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560280736368-IKIM5UU1KRKZ5E99AN30/419++Carondelet+After+%281%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - 419 Carondolet 419 Carondelet LLC, owner; Welty Architecture, LLC, architect; Design Engineering Inc. structural and civil engineers; DEI Contractors, LLC, contractor Constructed in 1858 during the city’s booming antebellum years, this visually united row of three four-story masonry stores stood for decades as dismal reminders of the bad things that happened to downtowns in the 1960s. Neglected, unused and failing structurally, the buildings overlooked a vast parking lot. New life has returned to the Faubourg St. Marie, along with which has come the revitalization of these historic buildings.

Adjacent to the site of the historic nineteenth-century Tremé Market, this commercial building figured as part of the vibrant African-American cultural and commercial community that developed along North Claiborne from the early twentieth century until the 1966-69 construction of the I-10 highway. Neglected and severely deteriorated, this remnant of the once lively corridor has been restored by a dedicated team of professionals, utilizing the benefits of historic tax credits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560281516291-YOKPUV4IZ41WZ0L1HHY3/After+1428+Ursulines+%281%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - 1428 Ursulines Jason Riggs, Historic Pro Nola, LLC, owner; Adler Design Build, LLC, architect When the team began this renovation in Faubourg Tremé, cats claw trumpet vine creeped over all elevations, threatening the remaining historic elements of this Greek revival style cottage. Fortunately, this shotgun still retained much original detailing including window sash, entry door casing and desirable recessed side gallery. In 1911, the Economy Mutual Aid Hall, a benevolent society for African Americans, acquired the dwelling and used it as its headquarters. Adjacent to the property was Economy Hall, a famous jazz club located in a now-demolished structure. Creating two living units, this honored project has brought people back to the neighborhood as well as salvaged an important architectural element. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560281626068-H78BA9UHUJUW78CIHB2H/Cambria+Hotel+After+%281%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - Cambria Hotel Fillmore Capital Partners, owner; Holly & Smith Architects, architect; Landis Construction Co, LLC; Salas O’Brien, LLC, engineer; Morphy, Makofsky, Inc, engineer Deftly tucked into a narrow former parking lot on a densely occupied business district street, the new Cambria Hotel Warehouse District represents a successful approach to urban infill in an historic district. The project transformed an empty space into a handsome and vibrant hotel building that is respectful of the mix of the neighboring historic buildings and converted warehouses. Thoughtful design and careful planning took care to recognize the scale and context of the surrounding neighborhood, utilizing a simple palette of materials commonly found in the district. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560281733734-WED1XPH59RJ7FIOSHQH0/Dual+Brand+Hotel+After+%284%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - Dual Brand Hotel NewcrestImage, owner; Campo Architects, architect; Design DMU, EXP, Morphy Makofsky Inc., engineer Built in 1968 for Ocean Drilling and Exploration Company (“ODECO”), this mid-century modern glass and steel midrise was a product of Louisiana’s petroleum heyday. Designed by architect Paul Mouton and master engineer William Mouton, the building pioneered an innovative precast foundation system. Its innovations were in keeping with the inventions devised by ODECO’s co-founder Alden Laborde, who developed the infrastructure that enabled the nation’s offshore oil industry. After the departure of ODECO in 1992, the building lost its principle tenant, sitting vacant for a decade after Hurricane Katrina. Recently renovated into a dual-branded Marriott Suites hotel, the building retains its glass and arched exterior, steel columns, and window grates. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560281744306-GGAJVYV1TRYV279FXL2R/Greenway+Apartments+After+%284%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - Greenway Apartments GCE Green St. Louis, LLC, owner; CCWIV Architecture, LLC, architect; Duplantis Design Group, PC, engineer; Enhanced Capital; Gulf Coast Bank; RAMM SDF 2017, LLC The radical conversion of an unsightly, abandoned 1940s industrial building into The Greenway Apartments transforms a section of the Lafitte Greenway while taking care to preserve the greenway’s pastoral character. With twelve apartments and commercial spaces, the project adds life and leisure facilities to a promising but undeveloped area. The development reconfigured the former Tulane Industrial Laundry’s concrete block and steel-framed building while maintaining its industrial character and appearance.

Designed in the popular Craftsman style by City of New Orleans architect Edgar Christy, the school was enlarged with additional wings after 1925. A century later, years of deferred maintenance combined with termite and hurricane damage left the school unusable. In 2018 the Louisiana Recovery School District completed a $17 million renovation, transforming the school with up-to-date technology while retaining much of the school’s early-20th-century character. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560281988587-VOJJUHT4M7DL5QCFD7GJ/Hotel+Peter+and+Paul+After+%284%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - Hotel Peter and Paul ASH NYC and Nathalie Jordi, owners; studioWTA, architect; Palmisano, general contractor; MacRostie Historic Advisors and Rick Fifield, AIA. historic consultants; Robert Lilkendey, acoustical consultant; Pace Group, structural engineer; Frishhertz, electrical engineer; Pontchartrain Mechanical, mechanical engineer Opening recently to the welcoming acclaim of both locals and national press, this ambitious hotel project, spearheaded by owner and Marigny resident Nathalie Jordi, revitalized this historic ecclesiastical complex, which had been abandoned and neglected since 2001. Organized in 1848 for Faubourg Marigny’s Irish Catholic residents, the Sts. Peter and Paul community consisted of the church, designed in 1862 by heralded architect Henry Howard, school, rectory and convent, all playing integral roles in the religious, educational and social life of its neighborhood. This adaptive reuse focused on creating a sense of a light architectural touch, seamlessly concealing the effort necessary to successfully restore the structures. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560281992055-XMZX1JE1HG2CPRD4V9WJ/McDonogh+After+%285%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - John McDonogh High School John Mc School Facility, LLC, owner; Recovery School District,/Louisiana Department of Education; VergesRome Architects, APAC, architect; C. Spencer Smith, AIA, architect; CORE Construction, general contractor; Jacobs/CSCR, project manager For over a century, the impressive turreted Gothic revival style red brick school has dominated its streetscape. One of the last schools built in New Orleans with money donated by philanthropist John McDonogh and a fine example of the eclectic designs of City of New Orleans architect E.A. Christy, the building opened as the Esplanade Girls High School in 1912, to be renamed John McDonogh High School in 1923. After some troubled years, the school closed in 2014. Today a full renovation has retuned glister to this landmark, which now houses Bricolage, a charter school serving an ethnically diverse student body of children from pre-kindergarten through fifth grades. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560282110721-YX1R5IX74FGADN4ZKLFO/NOJHF+After+%284%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - New Orleans Jazz and Heritage Foundation New Orleans Jazz & Heritage Foundation (NOJHF), owner; Trapolin-Peer Architects, APC, architect; CDW Services, general contractor; Spackman Mossop Michaels, landscape architect; Hilary S. Irvin, tax credit consultant; Damien Serauskas, mechanical engineer; Creighton Engineer, electrical engineer; Bose Engineering, structural engineer A few years after the Civil War ended, Jules LeBlanc, a French-born Cuban merchant, built these two Italianate-style storehouses, located on an imposing corner in the Faubourg Tremé. Figuring prominently for decades in the life of the then fashionable Creole neighborhood, the buildings fell into disrepair in the early 20th-century. When the foundation acquired the property in the late 1980s, many of its historic elements were gone or altered, and the rear courtyard served as a mechanical yard. Approaching the renovation with sensitivity to its historicity, while acknowledging the needs of the client, the team provided a fully updated headquarters, while maintaining its ambience in the cultural landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560282114555-7BG0WSBLOASBVBAWAU1U/Opelousas+Apartmentts+After+%281%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - Opelousas Apartments New Orleans Redevelopment Fund, owner; Albert Architecture, architect; Hernandez Consulting and Construction, contractor With a roof deck above leafy Opelousas Street in historic Algiers Point offering spectacular views of the Mississippi River and the Central Business District, this 15,000 square foot former St. John’s Masonic Lodge has found exciting new life as a uniquely-styled, ten-unit apartment building. The double-height and high ceilings of the lodge assembly rooms featured expansive steel windows that with restoration and re-design became double-height living spaces, also featuring maintained and exposed original flooring, brick and plaster detailing. These challenging but sensitive and creative plan layouts qualified the property for both State and Federal historic tax credits. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560282116988-2HN73JWI9PC903J5FYY6/Rose+Collaberative+After+%287%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - Rose Collaborative Bayou Tremé Center, LLC, owner; Metro Studio, architect; Ryan Gootee General Contractors, contractor; Spackman Mossop Michaels, landscape architect; Charcoalblue, theater consultant; Alembic Community Development and Rose Community Development Corporation, developers Replacing the original wood frame church and the first substantial church that tragically burned in 1913, the Tudor Gothic styled St. Rose de Lima Church, along with the parish school buildings, faithfully served the Bayou Road/Broad Street neighborhoods for almost 100 years before permanent closure post-Katrina. Respecting the history of the buildings, the development partners in 2018 redeveloped the 1.5-acre site into a hub for arts, education and entrepreneurship that will continue to serve its neighborhood and beyond, including indoor and outdoor performance areas, shared small business workspaces, a community incubator and a pre-K through eighth grade school. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560282120354-G8DS5ATC8D0JQNEDOFYW/St.+Stephen+After+%282%29.jpg 2019 Awards for Excellence - St. Stephen Catholic Church Archdiocese of New Orleans/Good Shepherd Parish, owner; Trapolin-Peer Architects. architect; DonahueFavret Contractors, Inc., general contractor An anchor along lower Napoleon Avenue for more than 125 years, magnificent St. Stephen Catholic Church was upgraded with behind-the-scenes mechanics, all while preserving and enhancing the original construction techniques, materials and methods. Extraordinary attention to the roof, brick and mortar of the church structure served to provide secure weatherproofing for its long-term maintenance. With lead and asbestos removal--a priority for the interior--a plan for selective plaster replacement, wall re-painting and restoration of the tongue and groove flooring was implemented, along with refurbishment of the exquisite architectural elements, gold leaf accents and re-creation of historic mouldings. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1560282954953-IQLPVSELHSMF3OP8ZO0U/Screen+Shot_Property-Details_2018-12-17.png 2019 Awards for Excellence - Vieux Carré Virtual Library (Special Award) Vieux Carré Commission Foundation, owner; Vieux Carré Commission; Tesler Preservation Consulting, LLC, project manager; New Orleans City Hall Information Technology Department, IT Architects; Gambrel & Peak, LLC Image archiving The website vieuxcarre.nola.gov is the portal to a map-based electronic archive of countless Vieux Carré images, documents and records, due to the work of a talented team of archivists, researchers and technicians determined to not only preserve these artifacts from deterioration and natural disaster but to make this valuable history readily available to the general public.

For more than 40 years, he filled a 400-page sketchbook with visionary designs for houses, public buildings, and tombs—proposals so avant-garde that very few clients dared to build them. Had they been more adventurous, New Orleans might look radically different today. Though de Pouilly’s name has faded and most of his built designs are gone—save for the iconic St. Louis Cathedral—his work lives on in his sketchbook of remarkable drawings, held at HNOC. In this lecture, presented by the Louisiana Landmarks Society and hosted by HNOC, architectural historian Ann M. Masson will lead a tour through de Pouilly’s imagination, revealing bold ideas that never came to be. Admission is free, with registration required. A reception offering light refreshments will follow the lecture. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/17a7a85c-3db2-4629-bdab-c8c36640be86/movie+facebook.png Events - Make it stand out Pitot House is thrilled to partner with The Broadside New Orleans and The Faubourg St. John Neighborhood Association to host our first Broadside on the Bayou featuring THE PRINCESS AND THE FROG!

Maximizing the number of bedrooms drives each conversion, overwhelming the lots and architectural styles. With 10-12 bedrooms packed onto 30-foot lots built to adjacent lines, the former cottages become unusable for permanent residents, while the existing on-street parking shortage becomes even worse.

Although a temporary moratorium is in place, to date over 32 family homes have been lost to these conversions.

Potential long-term solutions include tying intensifications to homestead exemptions, enforcing sideline setbacks and open space requirements, increasing assessments on intensive conversions, enhancing parking regulations, and changing zoning regulations and the level of HDLC oversight. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736541241-TOZRC3NEWRGFX0BL9T2J/Add+a+heading+%281%29.png New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736581349-58TW69FC7A9SO2L60PHD/IMG_1812.jpg New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736598042-65RQ1C79O4SZNFV626GR/Untitled+design+%2852%29.png New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736610584-TIYUNY9PIMV9QRO1P2ZB/image.jpg New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736630120-XDDXV9NB4JIFLUDMSVFH/IMG_2378.jpg New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736639510-XHQ8OXSOMH750DPD4VUJ/Crescent_City_Towers_-_panoramio.jpg New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736669695-Y5LOJWUGVOPBIQ07ZQI7/IMG_7176.jpg New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736677652-A4R7WLS6SBHHND9OB6TF/Center+Hall.jpg New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1669736683394-OPQEB0ARQA8GMAJYDB6B/6896460919_477b4b50eb_b.jpg New 2022 NO9 Gallery https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/martha-robinson-lectures daily 0.75 2022-01-12 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1641937160733-EC7BFN5N034RV7FRB6SK/210110+Postcard_Page_1.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures - 2022 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1641937160733-EC7BFN5N034RV7FRB6SK/210110+Postcard_Page_1.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures - 2022 2022 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011769107-7EC5ANRM7E0EP7IH3LW0/210110+Postcard_Page_2.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011497274-OYKQ4WBE96N0BI84AG5I/Martha+Robinson+Industrial+Canal+Lecture+7_Page_1.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642012199596-C8V9PYQ4UH8HPR0VUGWA/Final+Martha+Robinson+Industrial+Canal+Lecture_Page_2.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011781251-JD7TMRHB7NCDF8WOBKBO/Pollara+Card_Page_1.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011789213-LH2XQBVNCCKJCQI4VASA/Pollara+Card_Page_2.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011482478-8CJ63SOVNPQI0GTH10TN/Borah+Lecture+Card_Page_1.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011759063-NSKNEJCRFE7M4N891PPC/Borah+Lecture+Card_Page_2.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011847350-BZGIU4ISCAGQLD3ZBW73/MR+2015+invitation.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011887140-5DH49FYMRFBDIY95GMI9/MR+2014+invitation.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011892566-1ZMPR18JLFTAG88JYWSB/MR+2013+invitation.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1642011898936-I1SV012GQKBXV3KGFA7X/MR+2012+invitation2.jpg Martha Robinson Lectures https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/preservation daily 0.75 2024-08-06 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1533674741551-KMHJ8MVKJLURVOWENBW5/Marker+dedication+Oct.jpg Preservation Awards 2024 Dedication of Pitot House Historical Marker https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1622573221625-ST7EKRETXUEDP6EWEGHL/LLS+Logo.png Preservation Awards 2024 - Board of Trustees Louisiana Landmarks Society’s 2024-2025 Board Members https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1572027646422-LRIM4UWJA551PXGXICKD/IMG_7265.jpg Preservation Awards 2024 - Staff Members https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2021-nola9 daily 0.75 2022-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788856107-KL29QFP7CNGL2HRLEBT3/IMG_1812.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Single and Double Shotgun Vernacular Location: Citywide Threat: Loss of an Iconic Design The renowned New Orleans single-story, single and double shotgun home may seem ubiquitous as an architectural style. However, true “shotguns” are becoming increasingly rare as they are purchased, gutted of their iconic plan, camel-backed and flipped. Besides drastically modifying the quintessential shotgun plan, McMansion-style additions alter the scale of our historic neighborhoods, while the conversion of double shotguns to single homes contributes to the depletion of much needed affordable housing stock. Similar to the disappearing dogtrot style, the shotgun plan is becoming lost as both interiors and exteriors are modified – no longer qualifying the home to be considered a true “shotgun”. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788856107-KL29QFP7CNGL2HRLEBT3/IMG_1812.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Single and Double Shotgun Vernacular Location: Citywide Threat: Loss of an Iconic Design The renowned New Orleans single-story, single and double shotgun home may seem ubiquitous as an architectural style.

Overgrown vacant lots. Noise. Short-term-rentals. Restaurants that are actually bars. And more! Nothing frustrates New Orleanians more than lack of enforcement of our laws, rules and the Comprehensive Zoning Ordinance. The city’s Safety and Permits office often issues approvals for permits based on nothing more than the assurances of applicants. The Department of Code Enforcement has been inconsistent in verifying the applicant’s actual use. The Administration fails to hold departments accountable. Inadequate city agency budgets lead to a shortages of inspectors. Citizens suffer when regulations, quality-of-life laws, city code and land-use zoning fail to create predictability. Without enforcement, none of the rules and laws can make any difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788536544-IR6W8BAY080YDW3ME3C8/image.jpg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190073937-MII8RGWBN9GI299UIMNG/Untitled+design+%2852%29.png 2021 NOLA9 - Iconic New Orleans Detailing Location: Citywide Threat: Theft, Vandalism, Non-Replacement It is said that “God is in the details” – and in New Orleans we are losing those details at a rapid pace. Whether it is the iconic New Orleans’ ceramic tile street markers, the Sewerage and Water Board’s much loved and replicated water meter covers, the Spanish street wall plaques in the Vieux Carré, or the granite curbs that used to line our streets – these historic details are quickly vanishing. Through breakage, theft, vandalism and/or the city’s desire to save money, these seemingly inconsequential, individual losses actually erode the historic character of the city piece by piece. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190082971-U6PX27WM0A9G1IRECPUA/IMG_9953.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Keller Homeplace River Road Threat: Disagreement of Heirs & Developmental Pressures One of the last remaining large French Colonial raised cottages now sits in desolation only 30 minutes outside of New Orleans. Built in the 1790’s, this home reveals exposed West Indian style bousillage construction, with original features such as cypress floors, mantles, marble tile on the first floor, and more. Declared a National Historic Landmark and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1970, the home is threatened by encroaching industrial companies continually appropriating prime river-fronting land, housing developments capitalizing on acreage, complications and differing objectives of the heirs, and recent damage from Hurricane Ida. This once lively family home is in desperate need of stabilization and repair. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190093747-E26742CM86CRX4YBN46I/IMG_2378.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Moss Street Corridor Location: Bayou St. John Neighborhood Threat: Inappropriate Development The quaint, historic Moss Street corridor and Bayou St. John neighborhood are being rapidly transformed. Inappropriate construction has led to historic homes being demolished; cottages being hoisted into the air and modified beyond recognition; inappropriate, bayou fronting double garages; and massive alterations and construction that are out-of-scale and character for the neighborhood and scenic bayou waterfront. Elements that made the area so attractive are being lost. Creating a full control historic district would help allay these inappropriate, intensive developments and aid in retaining the desirous Moss Street corridor and Bayou St. John neighborhood. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190107026-XD7HBL8SJQ3LVSFEEPT1/Crescent_City_Towers_-_panoramio.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Plaza Tower Location: 1001 Howard Avenue Threat: Abandonment and Neglect Described at its completion in 1965 as a “brilliant and magnificent edifice”, the Plaza Tower at the prime location of Loyola and Howard Avenues in downtown New Orleans has long suffered from a fall from economic importance and architectural grace. The Leonard Spangenberg, Jr. designed tower, once the tallest in Louisiana, is now empty and deteriorating, with building elements occasionally falling dangerously to the street. The “alphabet soup” of ownership, “revolving door” of management and the loss in 1996 of a state lease due to building problems, has left the tower without tenants for more than twenty years, standing as a blight on downtown and as an embarrassing eyesore for the city. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190121171-UKLNKGNTGJWFHSHO35RM/IMG_7176.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Perseverance Hall Location: 1644 N. Villere Street Threat: Hurricane Damage and Neglect This important jazz landmark in the Seventh Ward neighborhood suffered near catastrophic damage from the winds of Hurricane Ida. Structural failure included the complete collapse of the rear wall and near collapse of the two side walls and roof, with only the front façade remaining intact and upright. Long before becoming a church, the hall was home to the Perseverance Benevolent Mutual Aid Association and hosted performances by many early jazz musicians whose music had a profound impact on American society and culture. With the loss locally of so many early jazz venues, it is critically important that all remaining sites be protected and preserved out of respect for that history and in honor thereof. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190130978-IOBEJ2FS0B8S4I7BSHM2/0dd5b6baed5a5921ee496e3943bdfc5bl-m0od-w1024_h768_x2.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Creole Center Hall Cottage Location: 1406 Elysian Fields Avenue Demolition by Neglect Decades of residents of this formerly distinguished home and dependency on Elysian Fields Avenue were witnesses to history. The Creole center hall cottage on Elysian Fields Avenue in Faubourg St. Roch had a front row seat on the route of Smoky Mary and its one hundred year run carrying passengers and freight out to Milneburg on Lake Pontchartrain, as well as to the emergence of New Orleans Jazz as practiced and perfected by the neighborhood’s early musical legends including Jelly Roll Morton, Sidney Bechet and Paul Barbarin. Now the home sits vacant, threatened, deteriorating and neglected. With care and attention this home could once again reclaim its proper role as a witness to yet more history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190138155-2DKGY7ZA72K1XZHHDLBV/IMG_1388.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Valence Street Baptist Church Location: 4636 Magazine Street Threat: Demolition by Neglect Designed by prominent architect Thomas Sully in 1885, this Landmark church building is believed to be the first and one of only two church commissions by Sully during his 22 years of work in New Orleans. Built in the “Stick Style”, a design that represented a stylistic antecedent to the Queen Anne style championed by Sully, the church building is dominated by a distinctive square tower and has been credited as the most architecturally significant frame church in the city. Long a fixture along Magazine Street and for years described as “the country church uptown”, the church building is now forlorn and neglected, a former neighborhood anchor now in decline on a busy, thriving commercial part of Magazine Street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661190277018-YECSELRLBTAXDSFBK334/New+Orleans+9.png 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788447394-WMEO21GMOFGRH2HNFKQS/image.jpg 2021 NOLA9 - Lack of Enforcement https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788555357-ASVT88TGJLE6RUKXICA3/image.jpg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788510283-3JOX30098CO424TQUJG7/image-asset.jpeg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788641709-LW4CQNGQ0U5UCFE930L2/image-asset.jpeg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788676216-5F9AT7LVKCDONK6Z3Y5P/image-asset.jpeg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788721861-PTF9YD8ADD5NTO2YOD8P/image-asset.jpeg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788743817-SSMP6GIW391LLVBTX302/image-asset.jpeg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788811161-Z7KW5SGDD4AATKVC52F0/image-asset.jpeg 2021 NOLA9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661788821318-KYL5JO77Z1S2D57BVXNL/image-asset.jpeg 2021 NOLA9 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/events daily 0.75 2026-02-18 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/events/2025/9/30/film-screening-at-pitot-house-screening-of-lafs-award-winning-ancestral-artistry monthly 0.5 2025-08-17 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1755466635970-GOR23IYQVD4A3VI8TTUN/Ancestal%2BArtistry%2BGeneral%2B4K%2BGraphic-03.jpg.webp Events - Film Screening at Pitot House of LAF's award winning Ancestral Artistry - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/events/2025/8/8/new-orleans-nine monthly 0.5 2025-08-07 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/events/2025/10/26/fete-du-jardin-2025 monthly 0.5 2025-10-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/30429e0f-81ad-4ad2-ac67-e715bec5d5ad/Fete+graphic+Details.png Events - Fete Du Jardin 2025 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/events/2025/7/10/bastille-day-at-the-pitot-house monthly 0.5 2025-07-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/2aeff502-3966-47a4-a5d9-9aca6d481f24/July+10_Bastille+Day+at+Pitot.png Events - Bastille Day at the Pitot House - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/events/2025/5/8/2025-martha-robinson-lecture-with-esteemed-author-robert-s-brantley monthly 0.5 2025-04-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1745869906253-R6C408I4SVJGUBCARHLJ/0-1.jpeg Events - 2025 Martha Robinson Lecture with Esteemed Author, Robert S.

Over time, additions extended the rear, with bathrooms incorporated after 1937. By the late 20th century, non-original materials—including pressboard siding, metal windows, and vinyl shutters—obscured its historic character. This comprehensive restoration removed these elements, reinstating wood siding, six-over-six wood windows, and four-panel doors. Interior updates included restoring original wood flooring, reconfiguring kitchens and bathrooms for functionality, and utilizing salvaged materials throughout. Completed in 2024, the project aligns with preservation standards, ensuring the longevity of this rare example of vernacular worker housing. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1742827730611-OFALOHB6QB3F3H99DH0F/unnamed-5.png Events - 2025 Awards of Excellence in Preservation - 316 Magazine St – Board of Trade Team: Ryan Gootee General Contractors, Trapolin-Peer Architects, The Berger Company, Mise Designs, Morphy Makofsky, Inc, IMC Consulting Engineers, RML Acoustics, LLC, Fransen Mills Landscape Architects, J. Latter Design, Ryan The New Orleans Board of Trade, an iconic 1883 commercial landmark, originally served as the New Orleans Produce Exchange before becoming the city’s central hub for trade. Renowned for its expansive trading floor, the building hosted market exchanges, banquets, and Mardi Gras balls throughout the early 20th century. This recent restoration preserved its historic architecture while transforming it into a premier event venue and office space. Key elements, including the 5,150-square-foot grand ballroom with 35-foot coffered ceilings, intricate moldings, and original murals, were carefully restored. Modern upgrades, such as a new commercial kitchen, concealed HVAC systems, and accessible amenities, enhance functionality while maintaining the building’s historic integrity. Completed in 2024, the project ensures the continued use of this landmark as an elegant and versatile gathering space. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1742596352170-8TNHPG4L37IUZTLJHN2P/403+Napoleon_RTA1+-+After.jpg Events - 2025 Awards of Excellence in Preservation - 403 Napoleon – RTA Transit Station Team: Landmark Consulting LLC, CDW Services LLC, Infinity Engineering Consultants, Mayo Architects, Regional Transit Authority, Weir Ready Environmental LLC The New Orleans and Carrollton Railroad Powerhouse, built in 1892, originally generated 600-volt DC power for the St. Charles Streetcar Line before transitioning to a training and maintenance facility for the transit agency. This property was on the Louisiana Landmarks Society’s New Orleans’ Nine Most Endangered list in 2015. After the building sustained structural damage from Hurricane Katrina, a comprehensive restoration project was undertaken to stabilize and rehabilitate the historic structure. The project included masonry restoration, window and roof replacement, exterior waterproofing, and infrastructure upgrades such as new overhead doors, sprinklers, and ADA-compliant restrooms. Careful coordination with the State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) ensured the building's exterior was restored to its original design while integrating modern energy-efficient systems. The restored facility will serve as a museum showcasing the history of New Orleans transit while continuing to support the Regional Transit Authority’s operations. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1742596346135-PRAY9O7K5S1XAYX38MQU/420+Julia_Exterior_David+Mitchell+Photography.jpg Events - 2025 Awards of Excellence in Preservation - 420 Julia Street – Common House (Old Children’s Museum) Team: Hartshorne Plunkard Architecture, AJ Capital Partners, Trapolin-Peer Architects, Joshua Joseph Interiors, Duplantis Design Group, Forefront Structural Engineers Inc, Pontchartrain Mechanical Co. Northside Electric, Inc., Spackman Mossop Michaels, RNGD Originally built as a private residence in the 1840s and later converted into a warehouse in the 1880s, 420 Julia Street has undergone a transformation into a mixed-use development. Formerly home to the Louisiana Children's Museum, the historic structure now houses the Common House social club and Memoir Warehouse District, a boutique hotel and apartment complex. The renovation preserved key architectural elements, including exposed timber columns, arched brick openings, and the iconic blue double doors, while integrating a contemporary five-story addition. The design balances preservation and modernity, with a new interior courtyard allowing natural light to highlight the dialogue between old and new.

The building was on the Louisiana Landmarks Society’s New Orleans’ Nine Most Endangered list in 2016. A significant property in New Orleans’ Lafayette Square Historic District, it contributes to the area's rare collection of mid-nineteenth-century buildings.

Rampart Street Team: Welty Architecture; DEI Contractors; Design Engineering; Bank Plus; “Son of a Ghost”; Standuke Management The Mary Beth Hotel at 310 South Rampart Street is a quintessential example of mid-nineteenth-century Greek Revival style in the Central Business District. The building's significance lies not only in its historical context but also in its restoration efforts. Years of neglect had taken their toll on the interior of the building, leaving much of its historic fabric in ruins. However, this project aimed to revive its former glory. The endeavor focused on reconstructing the roof, restoring the crumbling facade to its original appearance, and elevating the first floor to mitigate flood risks—a necessity dictated both by local conditions and municipal regulations. Prior to construction, the building presented several obstacles, including deteriorating upper facades, and structural instability. The rehabilitation initiative addressed these issues head-on, reconstructing the lower facade with French door openings, installing a new full-depth gallery reminiscent of the original design, and meticulously restoring the upper facade with scored stucco and wood-sash windows. Structurally, the building was on the brink of collapse, necessitating extensive bracing and reinforcement. To ensure longevity, a new self-supported cold-formed steel frame was integrated into the historic brick structure, preserving its integrity while providing a sturdy foundation for generations to come. Inside, a complete rebuild was undertaken, featuring modern amenities while preserving the essence of the building's heritage. Six separate residential units now grace its interior, each accessible through a strategically placed aperture in the ground-story party wall. Throughout the restoration process, every effort was made to salvage and repurpose original materials, including transforming reclaimed ceiling beams into end-cut wood flooring. This project exemplifies a commitment to sustainability and historical authenticity while breathing new life into an historic landmark. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1714583308211-K6KJM0HFGQNSKKAN92NN/Exterior_After+1.jpg 2024 Awards for Excellence - St. Augustine High School, 2600 A.P Turead Avenue Team: Trapolin-Peer Architects; CDW Services, Infinity Engineering St. Augustine High School, founded in 1951 by the Society of St. Joseph of the Sacred Heart, is famous for its academic and athletic achievements—and for its history of endurance. After Hurricane Katrina, St. Augustine collaborated with other institutions to reopen its doors and continue its mission. Today, it remains a leading secondary school for young black men in Louisiana. Recognizing the need to modernize while honoring its heritage, St. Augustine embarked on a comprehensive modernization project. Guided by strategic goals to engage students, the project aimed to enhance the teaching and learning experience while preserving the school's legacy. The modernization effort involved several significant steps, including the reconfiguration of STEM labs with flexible furniture and accessible safety equipment to accommodate various learning styles. Energy-efficient windows replaced existing windows, matching their original profiles to maintain the school's architectural character. Additionally, new cassette mechanical systems were integrated to adjust to environmental changes while preserving floor space. The project also addressed poor acoustics and outdated technology infrastructure: Dry erase boards and tackable acoustical panels replaced the old chalkboards, while IT was upgraded to support modern educational needs. Through strategic design moves, including the revitalization of corridors known as “the Hall of Knights,” the school aimed to enhance the beauty and functionality of its facilities while fostering alumni pride. By investing in its infrastructure, St. Augustine ensures its competitiveness and long-term value in the community, reflecting its commitment to adaptability and continued commitment to education for generations to come. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/b70f7745-8814-4361-8731-ede9881c3094/Feature_After+exterior+front.jpg 2024 Awards for Excellence - Hotel Monteleone, 214 Royal Street Team: Landis Construction; SCNZ Architects; McKee & Carman Design Group; IMC Consulting Engineers New Hotel Monteleone LLC The Hotel Monteleone, established in 1886 and now operated by the fifth generation of its original family owner, underwent extensive renovations on the 15 floors of Iberville Tower. Systems upgrades alongside preservation efforts aimed to uphold the hotel's rich history while enhancing its hospitality offerings. Renovating the Iberville Tower was a monumental task, involving upgrades to mechanical, electrical, and plumbing systems while preserving its historic charm. Despite abatement delays, Hurricane Ida, COVID-19 restrictions, and the hotel's continued operation throughout construction, the project achieved success over its 27-month timeline. Innovative approaches and technology facilitated efficient project management, ensuring optimal productivity amidst site constraints and unforeseen complications. Work was done on the ballroom to update ceilings without interrupting service. Value engineering discussions and techniques optimized scheduling and quality control. Notably, "Pull Planning" allowed quick adjustments to address complications. Special features include literary suites honoring William Faulkner, Tennessee Williams, and Truman Capote, with each meticulously preserved amidst renovation efforts. Throughout the project, a commitment to safety and quality remained paramount. The team worked diligently to maintain historical integrity, including compliance with Vieux Carré Commission and HDLC regulations and historic tax credit requirements. Despite obstacles, the renovation project ushered the Hotel Monteleone–Iberville Tower into a new era of hospitality, combining modern amenities with historic charm, and serving as a source of pride for the entire team. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1714583298474-5ASG74WFTXY5UH7CVRVA/Feature_EskewDumezRipple_HalesCottage_1.jpg 2024 Awards for Excellence - Hales Cottage, 200 Henry Clay Avenue Team: EskewDumezRipple Architects; TLC Engineering Solutions; Civil Engineer; Sherwood Design Engineers; General Contractor; Matthews Construction & Renovation; Landscape: Spackman Mossop Michaels Located on the Children’s Hospital New Orleans campus, Hales Cottage dates from the late 1700s, when it was originally part of Jean Étienne de Boré’s plantation. Its storied past reflects the rich tapestry of New Orleans’ evolution, surviving transitions from plantation to brickyard to federal property. The cottage suffered from neglect until Children’s Hospital recognized its historical value. It was restored and renamed as a tribute to Nancy and Dr. Stephen Hales, and now provides an important space for the community, blending 1850s charm with modern amenities. The cottage underwent a remarkable transformation, including a 45-degree repositioning for enhanced access, structural repairs, and the preservation of original fireplaces and chimneys. Despite the challenges of water damage and termite infestation, the dedication to restoring the building's inherent quality shone through, preserving elements like siding, flooring, columns, and interior ceiling. Community engagement was paramount throughout the project. Collaborations with local stakeholders, historians, and preservationists ensured that the revitalized space serves the community's needs. From public input sessions to educational programs and historical tours, residents actively participated in shaping the cottage's future as a community hub. Since completion, Hales Cottage has emerged not just as a historic structure but as a gathering place, with a coffee shop for patients, families, hospital staff, and neighbors. The space fosters connections and provides a space for reflection. Through this project, Children’s Hospital embodies its commitment to preserving cultural heritage while fostering community with a space where history, healthcare, and community converge. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1714583291568-7JSMWZS1SX7S74OF1W3D/Feature_dodwell1+%281%29.png 2024 Awards for Excellence - Dodwell House, 1519 Esplanade Avenue Team: St. Anna's Episcopal Church; Mathes Brierre Architects; Southkick Historic Preservation; Mayer Building Co. The Dodwell House is a community center at 1519 Esplanade that was repurposed from several blighted structures by St. Anna’s Episcopal Church through an investment of over $4 million. Originally built in 1846 by Louisa Marsoudet, this grand masonry centerhall and detached dependency sits part of the Tremé neighborhood. The structure witnessed various modifications over the years, reflecting changing architectural tastes and societal needs. It was recognized in the 2015 list of New Orleans 9 Most Endangered Sites. In 2018, St. Anna's Church was seeking a location with ample space and historical significance for an expansion of their after-school programming. The synergy between St. Anna's, founded in 1846, and the building's historical roots made it a perfect match. However, the project faced numerous challenges, including budget overruns, supply-chain disruptions and damage from Hurricane Ida. Nevertheless, Dodwell House has emerged as a symbol of the power of community initiatives. The restoration efforts preserved the building's original charm while integrating modern amenities, including a commercial kitchen and updated systems. The project exemplifies attention to detail, from the restoration of red limewash on the exterior to the replication of historic interior doors. Funding sources, including state historic tax credits and HUD funding, played a crucial role in making the project financially viable. Moreover, the collaboration between St. Anna and the team’s commitment ensured the successful realization of the vision to create a modern community center honoring Tremé’s rich heritage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1714583281785-VXHZUX00S2CM0H6WMWF8/Feature_Street_After.jpg 2024 Awards for Excellence - Dew Drop Inn, 2836 Lasalle street Team: Ryan Gootee General Contractors; Studio Kiro; PACE Group; HG Engineering; Creative Engineering Group; BAi, LLC; Patch LA; Batture LLC; Leaaf Environmental LLC; Civic Studio; RYAN; Site 504; Associated Food Equipment & Supplies; M.R. Montero Electronics; Bilbo Information Technology Solutions The Dew Drop Inn, located at 2836 Lasalle Street in Central City, was established as a barbershop in 1939. Over the years, it evolved into a multifaceted business, encompassing a music venue, hotel, and restaurant by 1945. The site became a hub for renowned blues, jazz, and R&B musicians, offering a welcoming space for both local and national Black acts, even during the era of racial segregation. However, the Dew Drop’s decline began with the closure of its music venue in 1970, followed by the shuttering of the barbershop in 2002. Hurricane Katrina's devastation in 2005 left the hotel abandoned and deteriorating for years. Recognizing its significance, the Louisiana Landmarks Society designated the Dew Drop Inn as an endangered historic site thirteen years ago. In 2022, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places, defining its global renown among music enthusiasts. The project to rehabilitate the Dew Drop Inn sought to revive its original purpose as a hotel and music venue while honoring its musical traditions and African-American heritage as integral to New Orleans' cultural fabric. However, restoring this historic landmark posed numerous challenges. Years of neglect and the impact of Katrina had left the building structurally compromised, necessitating extensive renovations. The project involved intricate structural repairs, including shoring up walls and addressing water damage. Moreover, securing financing for the project proved complex, exacerbated by the volatile economic climate amid the COVID-19 pandemic and Hurricane Ida. A combination of creative financing strategies, including New Market Tax Credits and Community Development Block Grants, was crucial to overcoming these obstacles. Despite the challenges, the project persevered, leveraging Historic Tax Credits after the original facade from 1945 was uncovered during pre-construction. Today, the Dew Drop Inn stands as a testament to its historical significance while revitalizing its role in New Orleans' cultural landscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1714583277720-JA55T1QH5CVLF867UQD6/Marais.jpg 2024 Awards for Excellence - 3116-3118 Marais Street Team: Ryan Nugent Architect; Historic Pro Nola; Marley Investments; Red Whale Builders; CHC Construction This project involved the rehabilitation and restoration of a traditional, circa 1910 wood-frame double-shotgun located at 3116-18 Marais Street in the Bywater National Register District and St. Claude Corridor State Cultural District. The house had been converted into a single-family residence through extensive alterations, including the replacement of windows and doors and the installation of layers of siding that obscured its historic fabric. The project aimed to authentically restore the property according to State Historic Preservation Office (SHPO) standards and meticulous research. Exterior rehabilitation involved the removal of the non-historic siding to reveal original drop-lap siding and quoins. Historic window-casings, though intact, lacked the original windows, prompting the installation of historically accurate two-over-two, divided-light, double-hung wood windows on the facade and true, divided-light windows on visible elevations. Original bays, doors, transoms, and cornices were restored to match neighboring properties, reinstating the facade’s original character (and moreover, the tout ensemble). The interior of the house suffered from deferred maintenance and structural deterioration, but original features such as baseboards, fireplaces with mantelpieces, pocket-door casings, and window casings were preserved. Drop ceilings were removed to reinstate the original picture railing in select rooms. The floor plan was reverted to its traditional double-shotgun layout, with distinct living spaces on both sides, including living rooms, kitchens, private bedrooms, and bathrooms. Through rehabilitation and restoration efforts, the project successfully revived the architectural significance of the property and helped to complete a row of houses while meeting the standards of federal and state historic tax credit programs. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1714583290448-A5SAH3ZBFIHA6C0YRZMF/Photo+7+-+After.jpg 2024 Awards for Excellence - 4201 Tulane Avenue Team: KCT Tulane; Rome Office; Trine Builders; Urban Properties | SVN Project Management; Fricker Historic Preservation Services; Batture LLC; Moses Engineers; LO Specs; Charles Leche Photography Concealed beneath a metal-building slipcover for fifty years, the Tulane Avenue Warehouse at 4201 Tulane Avenue has undergone a meticulous restoration and renovation. It was originally constructed in 1924 as the workshop of Riecke Cabinet Works, a family operation that fabricated fine millwork for local clients—building church-pews and supplying judge enclosures for the Supreme Court Building. Over time, the neighborhood underwent significant changes with the infilling of the New Basin Canal and the construction of an expressway, and the Riecke business was liquidated. In 1971, a lighting company purchased the building and sheathed it, unintentionally preserving its historic features. However, subsequent vacancy and neglect left the structure vulnerable. Recent maintenance revealed the intact historic skin of the building, prompting a shift in the project's focus from general repairs to comprehensive restoration. The exterior scope of work included the removal of the metal panels installed in the 1970s; and repair and reinstallation of the 1920s stone-face pressed metal panels and steel-pivot windows, while integrating modern insulation and waterproofing treatments to ensure high performance and longevity. Interior renovations involved the removal of piece-mealed walls and restoration of timber framing to create a brightly-lit hypostyle space reminiscent of the original workshop. Through careful preservation and adaptive reuse, the project aims to honor the building's historical significance while providing a functional space for future tenants. Recent community events, including a gathering of the Riecke family, underscore the project's success in reviving shared memories and an appreciation for the long-abandoned structure. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1714583275763-RC1QY4CLAD005YPWT3C3/Feature_20230518_134734.jpg 2024 Awards for Excellence - Convent Lofts, 1022 Barracks Street Team: Roderick A. Fifield, Architect; LLC, Batture LLC; Sam Solomon; Bancroft Property Investments, LLC The property along N. Rampart, Barracks, and Burgundy Streets was first developed by the Carmelite Nuns. The complex, encompassing over an acre of land, contained a series of structures enclosed within a twenty-foot-tall brick wall. The enclosure ensured seclusion for the nuns—and a paucity of historical documentation for everyone else. Established in 1877, the original convent at Rampart and Barracks Streets witnessed subsequent expansions, including the Mansion, constructed around 1845, and the Neo-Gothic masonry chapel designed by James Freret in 1891. Following the Carmelites' departure from the building in the 1970s, the property was transferred to the Archdiocese of New Orleans before it was privately acquired in 2016. Under new ownership in 2019, an ambitious renovation project commenced, focusing on stabilizing and restoring the historic structures. Priorities included repairing masonry, addressing termite damage, and upgrading roofing and windows. The adaptive reuse plan transformed the complex into twenty-five residential units, blending historic charm with modern amenities. The restoration process, guided by historical research and forensic examination, preserved the original features of the mansion and chapel. The chapel, now a spacious residential unit, honors its past with subtle stylistic nods to its heritage. Careful consideration was given to zoning regulations and property integrity, opting against commercial conversion and subdivision. The extensive grounds were thoughtfully landscaped to include gardens, a pool courtyard, and ample off-street parking. Completed in 2023, the project adhered to the rigorous standards set by the Vieux Carré Commission and the National Park Service, ensuring the preservation of this piece of New Orleans' architectural heritage. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/2023-awards-for-excellence daily 0.75 2026-03-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1772662160891-C80CT2KB0N5V9GII071E/Louisiana+Landmarks+Preservation+Projects+%281%29.jpg 2023 Awards for Excellence - Maison du KREWE, 619 Royal St. Kupperman Companies; Stirling Barrett; Trapolin-Peer Architects; Olivia Irwin Interiors; NFT Group; Mary Lane Carlton; KREWE Eyewear; Guaranty Bank & Trust This circa-1795 Creole-style building was the 1840 home of Zachary Taylor, and later, his daughter and her husband, Jefferson Davis.

The rehabilitation focused on preserving its most remarkable feature: a monumental vaulted pool hall with skylight, oculus windows, and decorative detailing. Later alterations were addressed, structural and moisture-related issues were stabilized, and the dramatic interior volume was carefully conserved. Using State and Federal Historic Tax Credits, the project preserves one of Uptown’s most unusual historic interiors for contemporary use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774546736203-APAAFS6TH0V1OA9ZQLWP/527+Elysian+Fields.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 527 Elysian Fields Avenue – Hotel Pompadour Team: Khrisos, Inc., James Michalopoulos, Mike Murray, Cody Ellis, LLC Rick Fifield, Batture Engineering, Tatianna Macchione, Andrew Williams The rehabilitation of 527 Elysian Fields Avenue transformed the former Schoen Funeral Home complex into Hotel Pompadour, a boutique hotel within the Faubourg Marigny. The interconnected nineteenth-century buildings, including Italianate townhouses and a former livery stable, reflect the layered commercial and cultural history of the neighborhood. Prior to rehabilitation, the complex suffered from substantial deterioration, including compromised timber framing and missing finishes. The project stabilized masonry walls, preserved heavy timber structure, restored historic materials, and adapted the interior for twelve guest suites while maintaining original staircases and circulation patterns. Using State and Federal Historic Tax Credits, the work secures a viable new use while maintaining the massing and scale of the Marigny streetscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774546777214-NSIZEUN6VSSJNRGCJ69C/632+Esplanade.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 632 Esplanade Avenue – Zaeringer-Begue House Team: Morgan Kinnett Stalder, Adamick Architecture, Historic Pro NOLA, LLC., Begue House, LLC, Nodis Construction Constructed in 1886, the Zaeringer-Begue House is a distinguished Second Empire townhouse along Esplanade Avenue within the Vieux Carré Historic District. Over time, the former mansion had been subdivided into seven apartments, with numerous interior partitions obscuring the building’s historic arrangement of rooms and fragmenting its grand interior spaces. The rehabilitation focused on restoring a sense of the original plan while preserving defining exterior features, including the mansard roof, cast-iron balcony, wood windows, and recessed entry. Inside, non-historic partitions were removed, decorative plaster and marble mantels were restored, and the staircase was rehabilitated. Using historic tax credits, the project returned a prominent Esplanade residence to renewed vitality. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774546877886-WU81OOTO6I55WB6GOGNW/600+Jakson.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 609 Jackson Avenue – The Jackson Team: Kalais Companies, LLC, AQ Studios, Carubba Engineering, M-K Engineering, Inc. The Jackson at 609 Jackson Avenue represents the adaptive reuse of the former Sara T. Mayo Hospital complex in the Lower Garden District. Founded by pioneering physician Dr. Sara T. Mayo, the hospital provided opportunities for women doctors and care for women and children before closing in 1979. Decades of vacancy left the mid-century institutional building badly deteriorated. The rehabilitation stabilized the historic structure, repaired concrete and masonry, restored glazing, replaced all major systems, and adapted the former hospital floors for residential use. Complementary new construction added additional amenities and much needed mixed-income housing and amenities. Using State Historic Tax Credits, the project preserves an important example of mid-century architecture and a significant chapter in women’s medical history. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774547031097-RLHSJ1M0YOR16PBCIC10/621+Kerlerec.png 2026 Awards for Excellence - 621 Kerlerec Street Team: Dana and Leo Palazzo, LK Harmon Architects, Southkick|Rolf Preservation Works Constructed circa 1900, 621 Kerlerec Street is a two-story shotgun double within the Faubourg Marigny Historic District that reflects the modest scale and craftsmanship of early working-class housing. Over time, the building was altered by fire repairs, asbestos siding, replacement windows, and enclosure of the front gallery, while years of deferred maintenance further diminished its historic character. The rehabilitation removed inappropriate alterations, reopened the two-story gallery, and preserved historic siding, brackets, windows, and floorplans. Interior features including wood floors, transoms, paneled doors, and mantels were carefully retained. Using State and Federal Historic Tax Credits, the project returns a long-neglected property to productive use while reinforcing the Marigny streetscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774547103851-Y34X5HS326O8DMV8FSQK/2015+Kerlerec.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 2015–2017 Kerlerec Street Team: Topaz Restorations, Southkick|Rolf Preservation Works Constructed circa 1915, 2015–2017 Kerlerec Street is a single-story Craftsman shotgun double within the Esplanade Ridge Historic District and a modest example of the neighborhood’s working-class domestic architecture. Prior to rehabilitation, the building suffered from extensive deferred maintenance, water damage, deteriorated wood elements, and intrusive later alterations. The project stabilized the structure and preserved its historic massing, layout, and Craftsman character through roof and drainage repairs, restoration of siding and trim, and rehabilitation of the front porch. Inside, the historic double-parlor configuration was retained, and original flooring, doors, windows, and mantels were preserved wherever possible. The project safeguards a rare surviving shotgun double within the district. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774547418774-YC6SXSOBV1JXQ9YGW1SE/Screenshot+2026-03-26+at+12.49.05%E2%80%AFPM.png 2026 Awards for Excellence - 3535 Magazine Street – Verdad Real Estate and Construction Team: Trapolin Peer Architects, Woodward Design+Build, DM Steib, LLC, Pontchartrain Mechanical, A1 Electrical Contractors, RML Acoustics, Merit Fire Protection, Fransen Mills, Ryan Constructed in 1925 for the Jefferson Motor Company, 3535 Magazine Street housed businesses that served its neighborhood for nearly a century, including a bakery and Harry’s Ace Hardware. The three-story building contributes to the commercial character of Magazine Street through its Classical Revival-influenced brick façade, steel windows, and prominent cornice. The rehabilitation adapted the structure for contemporary retail and office use while preserving its industrial character and key architectural features. Masonry, steel framing, cast stone detailing, and historic windows were retained and repaired, while new circulation and building systems were integrated discreetly. Using State and Federal Historic Tax Credits, the project extends the life of a long-standing commercial landmark on the Magazine corridor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774547552207-Q5SF307N7GNYTFI50RGT/3047+Maurepas.jpeg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 3047 Maurepas Street Team: owners Deborah & Nathaniel Brickens, Historic Pro NOLA, LLC, JLV Construction, Thomas M. Smith, Ryan Nugent The rehabilitation of 3047 Maurepas Street restored a one-and-a-half-story Creole cottage in Faubourg St. John while returning it from single-family use to a double. Originally constructed in the late nineteenth century, the house had undergone several alterations over time, including attic conversion and a two-story rear addition. Despite these changes, it retained its historic massing and characteristic cottage form. The project preserved the exterior envelope, repaired and repainted historic siding, restored porch elements, and retained existing windows wherever possible. Interior work focused on preserving original flooring and supporting the renewed duplex layout. The result is a thoughtful rehabilitation that also restores lost neighborhood housing density. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774550657702-KUI1EGLQVEIHEO9T7MCC/Screenshot+2026-03-26+at+1.43.07%E2%80%AFPM.png 2026 Awards for Excellence - 1354 Moss Street Team: Stephen Bergeron, Daniel Samuels Architect, EM Improvements, Decoration Lucullus Designers, Toulouse Street Millworks The rehabilitation of 1354 Moss Street restored a late nineteenth-century cottage while introducing restrained additions for contemporary residential use. Originally built as a three-bay side-gallery shotgun, the house had evolved through several alterations, including a major 1920s remodeling that reshaped the façade and enclosed the side gallery. Prior to rehabilitation, the building had fallen into substantial disrepair. The project removed later additions and siding, stabilized the structure, repaired historic materials, and restored the front façade while introducing a sensitive rear addition and screened porch. Original flooring, siding, trim, and doors were retained wherever possible. The result preserves the building’s layered architectural history along Moss Street. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774550740526-S7MXKMXGEH4O4OXQJPKG/2400+Napoleon.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 2400 Napoleon Avenue – The Josephine Events Center Team: 2400 Napoleon, LLC, Holly & Smith Architects, Perle Construction, Ryan, Parish Engineering Constructed in 1925, Our Lady of Lourdes Church is a Spanish Mission Revival landmark within the Uptown Historic District and one of its most significant buildings. After years of service, the church was damaged by Hurricane Katrina, deconsecrated, and left vacant for more than a decade. While the adjacent historic parish school building, also part of the National Register listing, was ultimately lost/demolished, the rehabilitation of the church itself represents a meaningful preservation achievement. The project restored the sanctuary for use as The Josephine Events Center, addressing major structural failure while preserving defining architectural features. Work included a new foundation system, restoration of stucco, tile roofing, windows, ironwork, and terrazzo, and reconstruction of the domed ceiling and ornamental plaster. The project demonstrates the power of adaptive reuse in returning a landmark to civic life. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774550904444-C5GBKPOINS7RV5N81IWM/IMG_3477.jpeg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 1746–1748 Prytania Street Team: Ryan Moses, Toulouse Millworks, Logan Killen Interiors, Cicada Architect, Southkick|Rolf Preservation Works The rehabilitation of 1746 and 1748 Prytania Street restored two historic residential buildings that contribute to the Lower Garden District streetscape. Though constructed decades apart, both buildings share a history of conversion from residences to boarding house or hotel use. The project addressed deterioration and mid-century alterations while preserving each building’s massing, materials, and interior character. At 1746, restoration revealed high ceilings, wood floors, plaster molding, and original architectural details. At 1748, removal of Perma-Stone veneer uncovered a remarkably intact Italianate façade with concealed porch boards and wood casings beneath. The honored project coordinated rehabilitation of neighboring properties and revitalized its streetscape. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774551027094-92UGX6G9LD4HSX3W7LJ8/2318+St.+Andrew.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 2318 St. Andrew Street Team: Gardner Development, LLC, Gardner Construction, LLC, Emily Knollenberg The rehabilitation of 2318–2320 St. Andrew Street restored a long-vacant shotgun double in Central City that was at risk of collapse. By the start of construction, the structure had suffered severe deterioration, including a major breach in one exterior wall and extensive failure of framing and finishes. Investigation revealed a more complex history than first appeared, suggesting phased construction behind the unified double façade. The project required comprehensive structural rehabilitation, including rebuilding framing, installing new siding and roofing, replacing doors and windows, and integrating modern systems throughout. Using State and Federal Historic Tax Credits, the project returns a severely compromised modest house to residential use and serves as a model for neighborhood reinvestment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774551099622-PFJQUNA4Y0CX5PZJ71QT/300+St.+Charles+LLS+Nomination+2026_Page_10.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 300 St. Charles Avenue Team: Welty Architecture, Ryan Gootee General Contractors, Roth Law Firm, Southkick|Rolf Preservation Works Completed in 1855, the historic Bank of Louisiana building is a four-story masonry landmark designed by Gallier, Turpin & Co. in the Italian Renaissance style. The recent restoration focused on preserving the building’s deteriorated exterior and selectively rehabilitating the previously vacant fourth floor. Extensive stucco repairs, conservation of cast-iron architectural details, and careful stabilization of the façade addressed conditions more severe than initially anticipated. Inside, original wood flooring was retained, intrusive drop ceilings were removed, and new systems were integrated for commercial use. The project preserves an important Gallier-designed building and demonstrates how thoughtful rehabilitation supports continued investment in downtown New Orleans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774551288571-OW4102XLX17VCSKZ2MSF/Screenshot+2026-03-26+at+1.53.46%E2%80%AFPM.png 2026 Awards for Excellence - 6823 St. Charles Avenue – Richardson Memorial Hall, Tulane University Team: Trapolin Peer Architects, Broadmoor, LLC, Morphy Makofsky, Inc., TLC Engineering Solutions, Inc., SLR Consulting, SpecGuy, Wiss, Janney, Elstner Associates, Inc., Studio West Originally constructed in 1907 for Tulane Medical College, Richardson Memorial Hall is a prominent Richardsonian Romanesque building that has housed the Tulane School of Architecture since 1968. Decades of incremental alterations left the building fragmented and unable to meet contemporary academic and accessibility needs. The project combined a comprehensive rehabilitation of the 45,000-square-foot historic structure with a 15,000-square-foot rear addition. Interior circulation was restored around the historic stair, new studios and academic spaces were integrated, and fabrication facilities were expanded. The rear addition remains visually subordinate while providing needed program space. Using historic tax credits, the project preserves and updates a major campus landmark for another century of use. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1774551397052-XETHTP4NW0ZYDXLVI0Q9/1100+Ursulines.jpg 2026 Awards for Excellence - 1100 Ursuline Street Team: Cicada Architects, Ferrand Design, JLV Construction, EHC Engineering, Revolution Engineering The rehabilitation of 1100 Ursuline Street restored a highly altered nineteenth-century building at the edge of Tremé, across from the Vieux Carré. Decades of alterations had obscured the historic North Rampart façade, including removal of the first-floor porch and enclosure of the upper gallery. Through careful investigation and coordination with the HDLC, the project uncovered substantial surviving material, including full-height windows, pediments, attic vents, and fragments of the original turned columns. These elements informed reconstruction of the building’s historic double-gallery façade. Additional decorative details were digitally documented and recreated. The project transforms the property into a single residence while reestablishing an important façade along a major historic corridor. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/new-cover-page-1 daily 0.75 2023-02-24 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/social-feed daily 0.75 2018-06-13 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/advocacy-news daily 0.75 2019-09-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1562011658495-Q8OG9RNSI4MY2OXB1AUQ/IMG_20190410_082226953.jpg Advocacy News https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/sponsor daily 0.75 2025-08-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/6ab510af-b65a-41d1-8cb1-306315b40765/1799.jpg Sponsor - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/directions daily 0.75 2022-12-13 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/rentals daily 0.75 2019-06-25 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1528900424425-1K1ISE93SX7UDK7PVDC9/PITOT_113.jpg Rentals - Wedding and Event RentaL The 10,000 square foot side yard is the perfect outdoor spot for almost any occasion — weddings, receptions, dinners, cocktail parties, or any special occasion, up to 300 guests.

Remarks by Erin Holmes, VCPORA I’m here to discuss enforcement – or lack thereof. Citizens rely on our regulations and code of ordinances for predictability and fairness. Everyone should be playing by the same set of rules. Yet, illegal short-term rentals outnumber valid permits 3 to 1. The enforcement office we were promised 3 years ago is still not in place. Overgrown and unkempt lots in every neighborhood breed rodent infestations and invite illegal dumping. Trash, tires, and mattresses make bike paths unnavigable. Apartment and rental property owners defer maintenance creating unsafe living conditions. Vehicle burn-out parties block streets, endangering pedestrians and motorists. The city’s Safety and Permits office often issues approvals for permits based on nothing more than the assurances of applicants, despite their operations being in complete deviation of proposed use. Then, follow-up inspections are often no more than a quick drive by of the business, with no actual site visit. Our police department was instructed to not enforce many provisions within the sound ordinance. Long blighted historic buildings buckle under the weight of their neglect. Insufficiently inspected new construction collapse with tragic and horrifying results. The list goes on. As violent crime grows out of control leaving many questioning their future in this beautiful city, these quality-control system breakdowns further undermine the faith New Orleanians have in their government. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794092840-JIO9I134FZWMA56N7ET3/IMG_1770.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794101967-4UQ3LZG8LB9TEQTSAV46/IMG_2249.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794106719-09OYH2G07U0X50SBS6VH/IMG_2253.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794215347-3M3BXND3F58PC2KWESQ8/images.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661795606982-T1ND2SW7IZ6799OL2MFM/IMG_1751.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794229526-CXF7L3RAV730ZSR94N25/Untitled+design+%2852%29.png 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794386810-S1EN3R9FJQC88MYHY7TG/IMG_0454.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661795626120-6BSII2Y91IOO4U1PUP6T/IMG_1774.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661795639665-E9ZRJVLGHBNXE40W8GCT/IMG_2317.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/482e28c2-134c-475f-a6de-de1ab0a89294/IMG_1989.jpg 2022 NO9 - Remarks by Sandra Stokes, Louisiana Landmarks Society They say God is in the details. In most European cities, part of the charm is that there are details everywhere. The intricate patterned pavements, tiles, the plaques, the markers – all enhance the European experience. They delight the traveler. New Orleans used to have that feel, that delight --- but sadly, many of those iconic details are quickly disappearing. Charming and once abundant ceramic street tiles helped indentify many intersections. When we see those blue and white lettered tiles, we just know it is New Orleans. It’s part of the character of the city. Once commonplace, now, if you can find them, many have letters missing or tiles broken. But worse, with street and sidewalk repairs, the majority are simply not being replaced. I fear those street tiles are gone forever. In a few cases, some seem to be selectively replaced when the handicap ramp is installed – so we know it is possible. But that seems rare. Granite curbs that beautifully lined our streets and neutral grounds are being replaced with ordinary concrete curbs that crumble easily when grazed by tires. The granite slabs are disappearing – thrown away by contractors, or taken by passersby --- losing yet another beautiful New Orleans detail. Many of the Spanish street plaques on walls in the French Quarter are deteriorating, losing parts and pieces, or defaced. These, along with Spanish Plaza were gifts from the Spanish government. These street plaques are beautiful touches that help remind us of our history of Spanish rule from 1765 – 1803. We lost Spanish Plaza with a remodel job that didn’t seem to consider the historic beauty and significance – and these plaques are yet another vestige that is deteriorating in front of us. And one of the most iconic symbols of New Orleans is the ornate Sewerage and Water meters covers. They are replicated in every sort of medium – in hot pads, coasters, ceramic bowls and art. You can find them everywhere, except on the sidewalks of New Orleans. They are being rapidly replaced by a cover that lacks any of the artistry – the new one embossed with the singular word --- “water”. Understandably, there are budget concerns. There is a cost to replacing these bits and pieces of historic New Orleans. But each loss slowly dismantles the historic character that makes us unique. It is the death by a thousand cuts. Those enchanting touches --- the street tiles, granite curbs, the reminders of our history, water meter covers that are works of art – these details delight residents and visitors alike. And it is these details that makes New Orleans different. Unique. Special. The beautiful and unique works of artisans and craftsman’s now give way to ordinary. At minimum, we should save what is left. But hopefully, we will work to restore much of what is lost. New Orleans is anything but ordinary. Its food, music, architecture, neighborhoods, and the details make it rich. And it is that “extraordinary” that is a draw for the rest of the world. We now notice – detail by detail, tile by tile, curb by curb, water meter cover by cover – we are losing those joyous and charming details. ……and New Orleans becomes Anywhere, USA. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794486823-E62ZY1CA6GBF0MZUE352/IMG_9953.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794495918-FAUMKGW2J8T0959ERSLO/image002+%285%29.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794501091-XUT6TE55JRZB9AWWLU76/image004+%281%29.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794568690-MOY0A9HH4SBC2EU8BYMW/IMG_2378.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794573035-86OAZQ9VD44B8PU58MAR/Moss+Street%E2%80%94NON+2022%E2%80%94f.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794577751-URIC7GKBCH5JQ59YUJDG/Moss+Street%E2%80%94NON+2022%E2%80%94final.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794654292-NJ338IOYKKXFGF26GF42/Crescent_City_Towers_-_panoramio.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794661608-BCM1CVQJZCY2VRW5V5WH/IMG_1818.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794669118-JEF6EX5ULNSZ37XKXQKM/IMG_1404.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794739758-RMCYXLPKWN540G0XHLN5/IMG_7176.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794745579-24LEFAFW4JZ5WC4IZ1G8/IMG_9939.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794753861-897FD99DE62AMT9HY727/IMG_1411.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661790704942-DPQCA3YX53UWGCZ569E1/0dd5b6baed5a5921ee496e3943bdfc5bl-m0od-w1024_h768_x2.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661790708646-8B8A7OTEL4G9O97Y03AP/4a6e7fd8f8d0c66df8871fb8d369945f-cc_ft_384.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661790714657-Z9XYLJQ7MYA6I1Z4MWR1/d2e01aa4da9830c7510f8f573bd755a7-full.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794821035-LV2KCJU8KABAW7YEAALP/IMG_1388.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794825239-1QY4XWPBVJAAFWQFAORL/IMG_1390.jpg 2022 NO9 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/1661794829038-TCOW1LWV3SGIOFDV0F9A/IMG_1391.jpg 2022 NO9 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/str-eblast daily 0.75 2023-01-15 https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/preservation-awards-2023 daily 0.75 2026-02-04 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/b05a1cc5-090b-44cd-90fe-3d22b874b68e/2022-2023+LLS+Awards+headline+image.png Preservation Awards 2023 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://www.louisianalandmarks.org/preservation-awards-2022 daily 0.75 2026-02-03 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/198fc744-b70b-440c-a1e4-363f77b1b65e/Humorous+White+Maze+Email+Header.jpg Preservation Awards 2022 - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ae4f88775f9ee2c32f83e85/ccf9f8a3-5330-4c43-8897-f4279a4d6b0d/Front+Elevation+-+after+1012+Canal.jpg Preservation Awards 2022 - 1012 Canal Street: Jennifer Taylor; C.
