2023 Richard H. Driehaus Foundation National Preservation AwardMcDonogh 19 Mixed Use Facility | 5909 St. Claude Ave, New Orleans, LA Historical Renovation Honoring
Manning Architects Project GalleryThe renovations on this historical site, where three brave six-year-old girls took courageous first steps in 1960 to desegregate New Orleans public schools 60 years ago, transformed this site into a poignant reminder of the struggle for Civil Rights and a valuable resource for those still fighting for social justice. McDonogh 19 was renovated into a Civil Rights museum with interactive exhibits designed by Gallagher & Associates, highlighting the history of desegregation. The renovation of this three-story Italian Renaissance-style building also includes 25 affordable apartments for senior citizens and offices for the People’s Institute for Survival and Beyond, which will offer classes in its “Undoing Racism” series.
