The former Brown’s Dairy complex is a unique property in an even more unique neighborhood in the heart of New Orleans. It is in close proximity to numerous signature experiences and vibrant neighborhoods and presents the largest infill development opportunity to hit the market in recent years. It provides an unparalleled adaptive reuse use opportunity, potentially with the use of state and/or federal historic tax credits, but also presents an opportunity to tear down and start a mixed-use redevelopment from scratch in a dense, energetic neighborhood. The complex was constructed in multiple parts over many years, and includes a number of buildings on separate squares. Ownership is willing to sell the complex as a single piece or consider splitting and selling separately. This is a rare opportunity to be part of the 21st century renaissance in the heart of the 300- year-old city of New Orleans. ` Property Facts & Features The complex is made up of several previously separate buildings that have been joined over the years, spanning five separate city squares. • 1300 & 1400 Blocks of Baronne St. encompasses the main plant with a large fenced, paved lot. Improvements total approximately 120,000 sq.ft. built in multiple phases and land area totals approximately 200,000 sq.ft. The warehouse buildings appear to have been built in at least four different phases, with the oldest portion of the building(s) dating back to as early as the turn of the 20th century. The original buildings that face Erato St. (Buildings B&C) appear to be about 12,500 sq.ft. (see historic photo below). The largest portion of the building (D) appears to have been constructed in 1950s, and added onto in at least two other phases in the 1960s-70s (E & A) and then the 1980s-90s (F). The footprint is approximately 75,000 sq.ft. and with second floor area of approximately 44,000 sq.ft. ` Pricing Summary Property 4: $8,500,000 approx. $42.50/sq.ft. (based on land area) ` Brown’s Unique History in New Orleans Brown’s Velvet Dairy was founded by Benjamin Christian Brown in 1905 and was family-owned until 1993. Benjamin. C. Brown was a native of Kingston, Ontario, Canada and came to New Orleans in 1904. He established the Brown’s Velvet Ice Cream Company a year later in 1905. The company started at the corner of St. Charles Ave. and Polymnia St. with a “10 gallon, old-timey ice cream freezer, one old gray mare and a wagon.”1 The business employed four people who cranked ice cream by hand using crushed ice and rock salt. The company then moved to St. Charles Ave. and Terpsichore St. and then moved again to the 400 block of Baronne. St., at which time the company had expanded to include “two freezers and two wagons.” In 1915 Brown’s bought a lot at the intersection of Baronne St. and Thalia St. and in 1917 constructed the brick portion of the plant, installing freezers that held 5,000 gallons. In 1950 the company noted that their freezers held 25,000 gallons and that the company produced 10,000 gallons of ice cream a day and was expanded to include the wholesale milk business. In 1954, Brown’s announced a revolution in milk packaging – the new plastic-coated twin milk containers – with a huge advertisement in the Time-Picayune on September 16. The founder’s two sons, Benjamin Temple Brown, Sr. and Alfred W. Brown were executives with the dairy products firm. Benjamin C. Brown’s death was announced on January 16, 1967 in the Times-Picayune. The Times-Picayune reported that his death was “the same day on which the Louisiana Dairy Products Association Inc. – an organization that he founded – began its three- day 1967 meeting at the Roosevelt Hotel.” The founder’s grandson, Alfred W. Brown Jr. served as vice-president and a director of Brown’s Velvet Ice Cream Inc. and Brown’s Velvet Dairy Products Inc., until his death. In 2000, Brown’s Velvet Dairy (then part of Suiza Foods) changed its name to Brown’s Dairy. In 2001, Brown’s Dairy became part of Dean Foods Southwest Division, and in 2004 they merged with Barbe’s Dairy, making Brown’s Dairy the sole dairy in New Orleans. Brown’s Dairy finally shuttered its New Orleans operations in 2016 when they opened a new plant in Hammond. 1 https://noladairies.wordpress.com/2014/04/01/browns-velvet-dairy/ ` Zoning The zoning of the Subject Property is MU-2, High Intensity Mixed-Use District, the stated purpose of which is to “encourage walkable neighborhood centers and corridors conducive to transit, with a mix of residential and supportive commercial and office uses. Buildings may contain vertical mixed-use as well as single purpose uses designed to be located both at neighborhood centers and along major arterial corridors.” Permitted uses within the MU-2 zone include multi-family, art galleries, bars, micro- breweries, office, reception facilities, recording studios and restaurants. Importantly, the Subject Property is also permitted for use as commercial short-term rental (e.g., Airbnb), which has become a huge factor in the New Orleans real estate market in recent years. MU-2 calls for a minimum lot area of 800 sq.ft. per dwelling unit for multi-family development, a maximum of 85’ or no more than 7 stories of building height with a minimum of 20% of the lot area reserved for permeable open space. Taken together, this is an attractive zoning classification that will allow developers to build a dense, mixed-use development. ` Neighborhood History Central City is a core New Orleans neighborhood, roughly bounded by Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd., South Claiborne Ave. and the Pontchartrain Expwy. to the north (downtown), Magazine, Thalia, Prytania and Felicity Streets and St. Charles Ave. to the south (riverside) and Toledano St., Louisiana Ave. and Washington Ave. to the west (uptown). The area closest to St. Charles Ave. developed first, in the first half of the 19th century, booming with the opening of the New Orleans & Carrollton Railway, which later became the St. Charles Ave. Streetcar Line. The opening of the New Basin Canal at the neighborhood's lower end contributed to the area's development as a center of commerce and a working class residential area, attracting many Irish, Italian, and German immigrants. After the Civil War, many African Americans from rural areas settled in this part of the city. By the 1870s, the urbanized area extended back from St. Charles Ave. to Claiborne Ave. Dryades St. was the main commercial thoroughfare by the 1830s and has remained so since then. In 1849 the public Dryades Market was built, and served as an anchor for almost 100 years. The commercial district thrived in the first half of the 20th century, becoming the city's largest commercial district patronized by African Americans during the Jim Crow era. At its height in the years after World War II, the Dryades St. district boasted over 200 businesses, with businesses owned primarily by Jews and some African Americans. The commercial portion of Dryades St. began to decline in the late 1960s, which continued through to the 1990s. During this time, the old commercial section of Dryades St. was renamed after local civil rights activist Oretha Castle Haley, who participated in lunch counter desegregation demonstrations on Canal St. Projects to improve the neighborhood gradually began to bear fruit by the start of the 2000s. A large part of Central City was above the flooding which devastated the majority of New Orleans in the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina. As there were many vacant buildings and vacant lots in this rare piece of high dry ground, greater attention has been drawn to Central City in post-Katrina redevelopment of the area. Central City has a significant Civil Rights history. In addition to boycotts on Dryades St., the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SCLC) was founded with Martin Luther King Jr. in Central City in 1957. The New Orleans chapter of the Congress of Racial Equality was founded in Central City as well. ` Oretha Castle Haley Blvd. has seen large-scale investment and redevelopment in recent years, and is now considered one of the premier up-and-coming commercial stretches in the city. It is marked by mostly local and regional credit restaurants and retailers, office and non-profit users with some upper floor multi-family development. Examples of some of the OC Haley mix include IberiaBank2, Café Reconcile3, GoodWork Network4, Roux Carre5, the Southern Food and Beverage Museum6 and the New Orleans Jazz Market7. 2 https://www.iberiabank.com/about-us/our-company/ 3 https://www.cafereconcile.org/about/ 4 https://www.goodworknetwork.org/ 5 https://rouxcarre.com/about/ 6 https://natfab.org/southern-food-and-beverage/ 7 http://www.phnojm.net/about ` Metro Area Aerial Central City Aerial ` New Orleans Metro Economy ` Property Photos PROPERTY 1 PROPERTY 2 ` PROPERTY 3 PROPERTY 4 ` Market Trends ` ` Demographics ` Matt Eaton, CCIM – Senior VP of Sales and Leasing [email protected] (504) 339-2136 Richard Juge, CCIM, SIOR – President & Broker/Owner [email protected] (504) 915-8877 Office Information: (504) 838-0001 RE/MAX Commercial Brokers, Inc.

  • A House Divided
    A HOUSE DIVIDED A Teaching Guide on the History of Civil Rights in Louisiana by Plater Robinson SECOND EDITION Southern Institute New Orleans, LA for Education and Research Tulane University © 1995 by the Southern Institute for Education and Research All Rights Reserved, Printed in the United States of America INTRODUCTION “A house divided against itself cannot stand.” -- Abraham Lincoln In an effort meriting the applause of grateful citizens, Xavier University produced the documentary A House Divided to record the history of the Civil Rights movement (1950-1965) in New Orleans. This study guide, prepared by the Southern Institute for Education and Research, is for teachers who intend to use A House Divided as an instructional resource in the classroom. This period in our history is little known by subsequent generations, black or white, despite the fact that participants in that epoch often live nearby. Students of today have little or no inkling of racial segregation as it was practiced and enforced in this city only thirty years ago. This is an unpardonable lapse in memory and responsibility. The Civil Rights period represents the great divide in our city, the divide between the past in which segregation was the law and degradation the rule, and the future in which hope is too often obscured by race, poverty, crime, and fear. It is impossible to understand present-day New Orleans without an understanding of the events which occurred so recently in the city and with such dramatic results. The documentary A House Divided focuses on the years in New Orleans between 1950 and 1965.

    OTHER GROUPS THAT ARE BRINGING PEOPLE TOGETHER In addition to those listed in the AFTERWORD of the book TOGETHER by Amy Nathan Mary Turner Project http://www.maryturner.org/mtp.htm The Mary Turner Project (MTP) is a diverse, grassroots volunteer collective of students, educators, and community members who are committed to racial justice and racial healing. That commitment involves educating ourselves and others about the presence of racism, the multiple forms of racism, and the effects of racism, so that we may become involved in eliminating racism. Much of our work centers on research driven community engagement and action relevative to past and current racial injustice. The first of those includes the creation of a free, searchable, web based database on U.S. slavery. The second initiative involves the creation of a free, searchable database on all known lynchings in the U.S. And our third initiative involves a collaborative campaign to engage state sponsored Confederate culture in Georgia. As part of our ongoing work, the MTP also organizes an annual Mary Turner Commemoration each May. That multiracial, multigenerational event is attended by people from all over the country. It involves a shared meal, a short program, reflections from the descendants of the 1918 lynching victims, and a caravan out to the site of Mary Turner's murder. There the group shares thoughts, poetry, song and prayers. The public is always invited to this historic event which takes place in Hahira, Georgia. Below are a few scenes from the 2010 gathering. For more information about this event simply send us an email.

  • Fighting for Inclusion: Blacks' Continual Struggle for Citizenship
    DATA CENTER RESEARCH . ORG The New Orleans Prosperity Index: Tricentennial Collection Fighting for Inclusion: Blacks’ Continual Struggle for Citizenship Rights RAPHAEL CASSIMERE, UNIVERSITY OF NEW ORLEANS Introduction Black New Orleanians have long struggled for the same basic rights and opportunities that most whites take for granted. Initially, the fight for civil rights was led by free blacks who fought only for their own inclusion, not for their enslaved brethren.1 These free people of color sought equality in a society that defined freedom based on race: whites were free, blacks were slaves. Indeed, the free blacks’ very existence was an anomaly, and this contradiction became keener each year as they lived as uninvited guests in their own commu- nity during the decades before the Civil War. From Reconstruction through the 20th century, piecemeal gains in education, voting rights, and civil rights were typically offset by re- taliatory regulations that impeded racial progress in New Orleans. In response, black civic and fraternal organizations—some national, some local—pursued legal remedies and representation. Like the local black community itself, these groups were diverse; at times they competed for membership and leadership, often fracturing along class lines. Some partnered with progressive white organizations, whereas others pursued a black-only agenda. The black press and black clergy proved to be valuable allies in advancing specific goals. Post-Katrina, many familiar concerns have resurfaced: income inequality, lack of affordable housing and employment opportunities, and voting restrictions. If today’s remedies are inadequate, black legislators are now as much a target for criticism as their white counterparts.

  • 1 FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street
    FINAL REPORT Panel of Experts, New Orleans City Council Street Renaming Commission Preamble How do we do justice to the centuries of history that have unfolded on these 350 square miles of land surrounding the Mississippi River? What is the relationship between this diverse history, its reflection in our city’s officially named spaces and places, and the values we strive to enact as a community? This report, prepared with the input of more than forty of the city’s leading scholars and writers, themselves drawing on more than a century of the most cutting-edge historical and cultural interpretation, offers no definitive answers to these questions. We have been guided throughout though by the conviction that asking these questions, developing a collaborative process, telling the multitudinous stories contained in this report, and reconsecrating some of the spaces in this city is an imperative as New Orleans enters its fourth century of existence as a city. The collective 111 suggestions for renaming streets and parks below makes no claim toward being a definitive history of the city. For every musical innovator like Jelly Roll Morton, Mahalia Jackson, or Mac Rebennack included there is a Bunk Johnson, Emma Jackson, Ernie K-Doe and countless others who have been left out. The four individuals included who fled the men who owned them as slaves near present-day Lakeview are but four of the thousands in this city’s history whose collective individual actions over centuries forced a reluctant nation to finally begin to live up to its highest ideals.

  • The City That Care Forgot: Apartheid Health Care, Racial Health Disparity, and Black Health Activism in New Orleans, 1718-2018
    THE CITY THAT CARE FORGOT: APARTHEID HEALTH CARE, RACIAL HEALTH DISPARITY, AND BLACK HEALTH ACTIVISM IN NEW ORLEANS, 1718-2018 A Dissertation submitted to the Faculty of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences of Georgetown University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History By Kevin George McQueeney, M.A. Washington, DC June 16, 2020 Copyright 2020 by Kevin George McQueeney All Rights Reserved ii THE CITY THAT CARE FORGOT: APARTHEID HEALTH CARE, RACIAL HEALTH DISPARITY, AND BLACK HEALTH ACTIVISM IN NEW ORLEANS, 1718-2018 Kevin McQueeney, M.A. Thesis Advisor: Marcia Chatelian, Ph.D. ABSTRACT This work examines the apartheid health care system in New Orleans from the city's founding in 1718 through the present, addressing several research questions. What factors led to the development and perpetuation of the apartheid health care system in New Orleans? What are the connections between apartheid health care and the larger system of racist hierarchy? How has apartheid health care impacted the health of Black residents? How have Black New Orleanians fought against this system and for improved health? This work main's arguments can be summarized as follows. First, apartheid health care emerged as a key component of the slave-based economy, became institutionalized with the end of Reconstruction and the rise of Jim Crow, and helped support the system of segregation in the Crescent City; sadly, an apartheid health care system still exists today. Second, the medical system served white interests in ways that financially benefitted members of the medical community and both accommodated and supported the prevailing economic system and racist hierarchy from slavery, to Jim Crow, to the post WW-II liberal order of de jure segregation, and into the post-Katrina world of ascendant liberalism.

THE CIVIL RIGHTS DOCUMENTATION PROJECT In 1967, the Civil rights Documentation Project (CRDP) set out to chronicle systematically the civil rights era through a series of recorded interviews. This series, now known as the Ralph J. Bunche Oral History Collection, is a unique and comprehensive account of the civil rights movement. it captures for all time, the voices, thoughts, recollections and interpretations of leaders of the civil rights movement, members of its rank and file, supporters, activists involved in related activities and those who opposed the movement. It is an extraordinary record of a turbulent and transforming period of United States history. The Project was the brain child of Dr. Ralph J. Bunche and was supported by a major grant from the Fund for Advancement of Education.
