I have no clue what this building used to be. As with much of 20th Century New Orleans archictecture, nobody seems very interested. The 8-story logo S and the skewed aluminum three-tone grid are spectacular. I hope the damage will be repaired, but given the building's vintage, I'm not optimistic.
Together with the nearby Streamline Deco Walgreen's and Gus Mayer Co. buildings, <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/repowers/341029349/in/photostream/">the lacy building</a>, the Egyptian Deco <a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/repowers/341029152/in/photostream/">Mangel's</a>, and a wide assortment of neon signs, these blocks hold a remarkable collection of mid-20th Century design styles.
