Marketing description
Frank Early’s My Place Saloon, located in the historic Storyville district, is one of only three remaining buildings from this iconic era in New Orleans history. The property is located just steps away from Basin and Canal Street. This is a rare opportunity to own a true piece of New Orleans history. Current plans feature a three-bedroom, two-bath layout apartment on the second floor with strong potential for approval as a Commercial Short-Term Rental. The ground floor is an unoccupied convience store but could be converted into a restaurant, retail space, or office.
The project has already received approval from both the Historic District Landmarks Commission and the Department of Safety and Permits for a full renovation of the structure. Included in the sale are complete architectural drawings for the renovation of the second floor apartment and a design for a restaurant build out on the ground floor by Adamick Architecture. The project has also received approval from both Federal and State Historic Tax Credits for Part I and II Historic Tax Credits.
The owner also owns a second property at 1534 St Louis, that is the second of the three remaining structures from the Storyville Era.
