Summary:
Originally built as a traditional brick public-housing complex in 1946, the Florida had more than 700 apartments and served as a community anchor in the Upper Ninth Ward until it was demolished in 2001 as part of a planned redevelopment. But the new units were souped by floodwater in 2005, and the site stood empty for years afterward until the Housing Authority of New Orleans rebuilt 52 apartments.
