DeGaulle Manor
DeGaulle Manor, now Crescent City Gates,〔(Crescent City Gates ) on the Yellow Pages website〕 is a housing complex in the Algiers section of New Orleans.
==History==
The apartments were built in the 1960s with 364 units under HANO before Anthony Reginell brought the property in 2000.
With 12 5-story sprawling buildings on Sandra Drive, it included a garden of flowers and working elevators for handicapped citizens. it was then labeled as a paradise for the white middle-class families of Algiers. In the years that followed, the community was desegregated along with its public schools. The Black Panthers were the first to move in the apartments along with the African American New Orleans Saints players. White flight caused the area to loose it's property value. After whites moved out the community, tons of African Americans flooded DeGaulle Manor, leaving other crowded housing projects in the 9th Ward and the over-crowded William J Fischer Housing Development. The newly Christopher Park Homes where also heavenly populated with blacks as well. White New Orleans policemen avoided the area due to its increasing black population causing neglect. Between 1970 and the present, no owner has kept the property for more than seven years; and each time that it has changed hands, the new owners have made little effort to rectify the many problems that arose under the supervision of the previous owners.〔http://brandanodums.com/be/the-history-of-the-site/〕 In 2005 after Hurricane Katrina struck, 135 out of 350 units were vandalized. 100 families still lived in the apartments until they were evicted on Thanksgiving.〔http://www.democracynow.org/2006/11/27/hundreds_face_eviction_in_new_orleans〕 Johnson Properties Group purchased the complex and were able to renovate 160 units. In 2007 Common Ground Collective bought the property from Johnson Properties Group, renaming it the Crescent City Gates Apartments. Crescent City Gates is now vacant and will be demolished and replaced by a new sporting complex.〔http://www.noladefender.com/content/curtain-closes-exhibit-be〕 North of Crescent City Gates were the Christopher Homes Projects, another run-down housing complex torn down in 2013.
