New Orleans’ Odyssey House Rises from the Remnants of Former Ford Dealership
CHALLENGE
Left vacant for a decade after being hit by a massive fire and Hurricane Katrina, this historic landmark was finally restored. Designed in 1925 by noted NOLA architect Emile Weil for the Bohn Motor Company Automobile dealership, the re-construction project began when the building was lacking a roof and windows. Only the existing brick exterior façade was salvageable.
SOLUTION
Practically rebuilding from the ground up on the existing base, architects selected WINCO's 3250 Steel Replica Windows to create a similar look to the original building. The new windows — featuring laminated hurricane-resistant glass, 5/8 inch muntin grids, and a Quaker Bronze Kynar finish — are ready to stand the test of time and New Orleans' turbulent weather.
The historic building is now home to Odyssey House, an addiction treatment center.
