HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
Built in 1907 and used for the production of rope, largely for ships in port. It was used as a pavilion for the 1984 New Orleans World’s Fair. The old rope factory, built of heavy timber, is an interesting study of conversion efficiency. Degrading a dock-high floor allowed for apartments with loft bedrooms. Creating three levels out of two floors and adding a penthouse to the roof, generated substantial additional square footage and exceptionally nice spaces. All 130 condos have been sold and are enjoying a strong secondary demand.
