THE BUILDING sits on the corner of O.C. Haley Blvd and MLK Blvd in Central City, one block from the historic Dryades Market corridor — 3 stories, 9,000 sq. ft., built in 1866. The building has held five identities in 160 years: a tin ware shop and saloon, the Dryades Street branch of Hibernia Bank, SOL KATZ Furniture Emporium (its name still set in the original terrazzo threshold at the front door), and a meeting lodge for the Knights of Pythias and Court of Calanthe. Today it operates across three distinct levels, each with its own character. The first floor is an intimate event and entertainment space, with the original terrazzo floor, historic entrance, custom built-in seating, and a rare, still-working antique elevator original to the building. The second floor is an open, contemporary space suited to receptions, exhibitions, and gallery installations, with original brick and plaster left intentionally exposed rather than covered over. The third floor is undeveloped raw space, ready to be built out as a penthouse, private residence, guest accommodations, or a members' lounge. Politicians, actors, professional athletes, and internationally recognized artists have all attended events here. This is not simply an event venue for sale — it's an operating destination across the first two floors, with a third floor ready to become whatever its next owner needs it to be, whether that's additional income, a private residence, or hospitality for visiting clients and guests. THE BUILDING is located in a federally designated National Register Historic District, walkable to the CBD, Garden District, and Warehouse Arts District. Central City was the commercial heart of New Orleans' Jewish, Italian, and African American business communities, and the city is actively investing in this corridor's revitalization. THE BUILDING is one of a small number of structures in New Orleans still standing with a fully documented, continuous commercial history from 1866 to today. Step inside a space where politicians, actors, athletes, and world-class artists have already made their mark. Now it's your turn — who do you know that belongs on the guest list?
