Built in 1963.
Reborn in 2026.
Charles Colbert built 1538 Louisiana Avenue in 1963 for use as a medical practice for Dr. Rufus H. Alldredge. Over the past 63 years the building has had many different uses. In 2026 it was renovated completely to become The 1538, Uptown New Orleans’ only coworking shared office space.

History of The 1538 Building
“In 1963 architect Charles Colbert designed this physical therapy clinic building for Dr. Rufus Alldredge as an elevated structure consisting of two units bridged in the rear by a glass enclosed ramp. A rusty pipe grillage creates subtly changing shades and shadows on the front façade. Today the building sits next to an empty lot that once was an Exxon station at the major intersection of Louisiana Avenue and St. Charles Avenue.”
