1971 Press Photo Site of a 218-unit luxury apartment complex on Metairie Road

This site of a 218-unit luxury apartment complex on Metairie Road is a long way off from reaching its planned height of seven stories as the height of the solitary crane would indicate. The crane's main function is to lift ready mix concrete for pouring into forms for the complex superstructure, but a Teamster strike has prevented that.

Photo is dated 1971.

Photo measures 10 x 8.25 inches.
