Oleander Hotel Restoration Project

planned

Restore Grand Isle, a local nonprofit, purchased the nearly century-old Oleander Hotel in Grand Isle, Louisiana, with plans to restore and transform it into a visitor and cultural center. The center will feature a permanent exhibit for photographer Fonville Winans, rotating works from Louisiana artists, a visitor center, museum space, and community gathering areas. The building structure is intact despite disrepair, and the restoration effort aims to preserve the historic landmark and its cultural significance.
