Latter & Blum Building, 11-story skyscraper in New Orleans, United States

The Latter & Blum Building rises to a height of 158 feet and features a distinct architectural design from the late 19th century at 800 Common Street.

Constructed in 1895 by architectural firm Sully & Toledano, this structure held the title of New Orleans' tallest building until 1904 and received its eleventh floor in 1922.

The building stands as a National Register of Historic Places landmark, representing the emergence of vertical construction in New Orleans' Central Business District.

Following extensive renovations in 2009, the building transformed from an office space into a mixed-use facility with commercial areas and luxury residential units.

The structure evolved from the city's first skyscraper to the Holiday Inn Club Vacations New Orleans Resort in 2020, maintaining its historical elements through multiple adaptations.
