300 St. Charles Avenue

RGGC performed exterior restoration and interior remodeling on the historic Bank of Louisiana building at St. Charles Avenue and Gravier Street. Designed by renowned architect James Gallier and constructed in 1855, this Italian Renaissance-style landmark stood for nearly 170 years in the heart of the Central Business District. The project required full scaffolding and swingstages to access all façades and address deteriorating plaster, which was in worse condition than the drawings indicated. Work included repairing and replacing damaged plaster, restoring architectural details, and ensuring the building’s exterior remained structurally sound. On the interior, RGGC remodeled the fourth-floor space to accommodate two tenants, including a mixed-use communal area featuring bathrooms and a kitchen. The team aimed to retain as much of the original wood flooring as possible while integrating modern design elements within the constraints of a historic structure.
