Our architectural firm was proud to lead the restoration of a historic bank in downtown Gretna, preserving its timeless elegance while adapting it for modern use. The project involved removing outdated carpet to reveal and refinish the original marble and terrazzo flooring, restoring the building’s grandeur. To enhance authenticity, marble teller counters were designed along the edges, complementing the building’s historic charm. Custom furniture, designed by New Orleans architects, was thoughtfully integrated to blend seamlessly with the space. Infill office walls were designed in glass to maintain the structure’s integrity while ensuring functionality. To celebrate the rich history of Gretna, murals depicting key moments from the city’s past were added, creating a dynamic visual connection between history and contemporary design. This restoration pays homage to the past while embracing the future. A great jumpstart to what is now happening in the downtown area of Old Gretna!
