Built in 1941 in the Streamline Moderne style, it was originally a mayonnaise factory. It was designed by architect August Perez Jr in the art moderne style, a close cousin of art deco known for its curving forms, long horizontal lines and "streamlined" appearance. As of 2009 it had been vacant since Hurricane Katrina in 2005, and it was being redeveloped into a 72 unit apartment building.[3]
