Constructed in 1960, this four-story Modular Grid Modern building was originally called the Caribe Building. The property is located in the Mid-City Historic District of New Orleans, which garnered its name in 1923 from a public contest sponsored by Hibernia National Bank. The winner received $20. Located on Canal Street, the Financial Planning Center demonstrates how commercial uses in the neighborhood were primarily kept to major thoroughfares while the rest of the area was left residential.
