The Bakery building, originally constructed in 1920, is located in New Orleans' historic Warehouse District, an area of the city that underwent dramatic changes from its earlier industrial use to a neighborhood of residential apartments, restaurants, professional offices and art galleries. The building renovation transformed its former use as Consumer's Biscuit Company into a collection of seventy-two apartments with a large sunlit central atrium, cabanna and pool. The atrium is defined by a series of angular bay windows which look to the west for afternoon sunshine. The original ovens were converted by Concordia into spacious and uniquely detailed penthouse apartments.
