Hufft Playspot
1201 General Collins Ave
New Orleans, LA 70114
Hufft Playspot is located in Algiers, Louisiana, near the mouth of the Mississippi River, and features the historic Algiers Old Shipping Inspection Station. This significant site, developed between 1926 and 1939, served as a U.S. Border Patrol facility and played a crucial role in the immigration process, particularly during the Great Depression.
The property encompasses a collection of deteriorated buildings dating back to the 1920s, which were initially used as quarantine stations for the port. Despite their current state of disrepair, these structures represent an important chapter in New Orleans' history and hold potential for future renovation and reuse.
