709 Tchoupitoulas St

Description: Renovation of existing 2-1/2 story commercial building including construction of new gallery and modifications to door openings on front facade.

ARC Recommendations: 

2/15/22: The ARC was reluctant to approve the addition of a gallery without further documentation that a gallery previously existed in this location. They also agreed that the installation of new overhead doors was not appropriate for the type and style of building. While there may have been an overhead door on the façade previously, it would not have been original, and the current condition is more appropriate for the historic character of the building, even if not entirely accurate. The committee suggested the applicant perform additional research to determine what the original condition of the building would have been.
