Vieux Carré Commission Evaluation:

[Orange. One Canal Place. High-rise shopping mall/office/hotel complex, 1979, 1982-1983. August Perez & Associates, architects.] [N.B: Squares in the 100 block of the French Quarter (those that front Canal Street and back on Iberville Street) are not part of the original Vieux Carré and have never been evaluated by the Vieux Carré Commission. Rather, their historical status is the domain of another city agency, the Historic District Landmarks Commission (HDLC). The c. 1965, color-coded architectural evaluation square maps for these squares found in the VCS binders were most likely executed by architect Sam Wilson, but they are obviously not official, as the HDLC was not even in existence then. The official color ratings given here have been taken from the HDLC’s current maps. Squares 1, 2, 1A, 1B, 2A, and 2B, which underlie the One Canal Place complex, are not within the jurisdiction of either city agency, but in this database the huge high-rise structure has been given an unofficial rating of ‘Orange,’ in line with all such modern construction.]
