Built in 1855, the two-story Greek Revival landmark of New Orleans’ Carrollton neighborhood evidenced the effects of time, weather and neglect, from deteriorated wooden trusses and masonry to damage from vandalism and animal infestation.

Crews work to renovate a former New Orleans courthouse into an upscale assisted-living complex in 18 months.

Construction will wrap at the end of September on a $35-million renovation and expansion of Second Line Stages, a film and TV production facility in the heart of New Orleans, and those involved say effective communication and collaboration played an important role in the speed of this design-build project.
