New Orleans has never been a stranger to abandoned buildings, but since Hurricane Katrina, there have been more major landmark buildings empty than usual. Although huge strides have been made addressing the blight problem, there are still some major buildings that sit empty, waiting for development. Here are some of the biggest and most striking in the city.
