OUR HISTORY

Historic Elegance Meets Modern Versatility

Designed by Byrne and Iannelli in 1918, this landmark building is a testament to early 20th-century architectural brilliance. Its façade features an iconic sculpture of a man holding a replica of the Kenner apartment building and a woman with a baby, blending historical charm with artistic detail.

 

A Complex Legacy: This property was originally subject to a deed restricting sales to Black individuals, reflecting the racial segregation of its time. Today, it stands as a landmark property, symbolizing both the architectural and social history of the era.

 

Why Choose This Space?

  • Rich Historical Significance: Perfect for projects that seek to capture early 20th-century aesthetics and explore complex historical narratives.

  • Flexible Usage: Ideal for both historical and contemporary filming, offering a unique backdrop that enhances any production.
