Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard: Past, Present, Future frames the discussion of “where we go from here” by exploring Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard’s layered and complex history and to uncover stories of people and places as told through its built landscape. Understanding the past of this multifaceted street can foster a deeper appreciation of its present and in turn lead to thoughtful and effective planning for the future.This exhibit builds on the historical and architectural research of the Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard corridor unearthed during the Façade RENEW work. Since 2014, Small Center has collaborated with Beth Jacob of Clio Associates, and Melissa Lee of New Orleans Redevelopment Association to support revitalization of four major business corridors in New Orleans, including Oretha Castle Haley Boulevard. The Facade RENEW program provides an opportunity for historic preservation, as careful research is conducted into the historic and cultural heritage of each property, which in turn informs the design approach.
