Bryan McLain purchased 736 St. Charles Avenue from the Rabitto family in the fall of 2014. It’s was occupied by family members, the Crescent café’ and The St. Charles Bar & Grill
His vision for the 10,000 Square foot, 3 story building was to create a penthouse living environment with a common space that was inviting and conducive to New Orleans style hospitality.
Structural Inspections of the building has revealed many unique architectural and structural characteristics . The building is constructed of concrete, steel, and brick making it a small fortress against time and weather. The Otis elevator was one of the oldest operating and inspected by Otis in the City. Iron framed casement windows face St. Charles Avenue, and a portion of the Church Street side of the building is made up of antique beams and brick.
Our goal is to restore while preserving as much of the historical architectural qualities as possible. The entire restoration and remodel process will be inspected and meet the guidelines of the State and Federal Historical Restoration codes and rules.
A three-story cast-in-place concrete structure with stucco finished masonry infill at 736 St Charles Avenue was purpose built in 1927 for the Abbott Laboratories.
The present structure succeeds a 19th-century building that appears to remain as a fragment visible on the Church street elevation as a portion of the two-story elevation.
The former Abbott Laboratory Building located at 736 St Charles Avenue is located in the Upper Central Business District National Register Historic District and the Downtown Development District Cultural District.
The building constructed in 1927 marks the early 20th-century transition of the Lafayette Square District from substantially residential to commercial use.
The Italian Renaissance Revival facade reflects the eclectic character of many of the early 20th-century replacement or infill buildings in the Lafayette Square area of the Central Business District. The purpose-built building for the Abbott Laboratories a Chicago based pharmaceutical company marks its expansion as a national company.
The Abbott is located within walking distance to the French Quarter and only 6 blocks from the Superdome. Fine dining restaurants and classic New Orleans bars are located nearby. At the Abbott, you are always close to the fun and spirit of New Orleans.
There is no place like St. Charles Avenue at Carnival time!
The design and planning team at McLain Development has paid particular attention to not only the historical restoration of this fabulous treasure, but has also planned for the here and now.
All NOLA dwellers know Carnival season is very special and 736 St. Charles Avenue is in the heart of all major parade routes.
The common spaces of the building will allow private entertaining in our quaint wine cellar, a Guest bath on the first floor, and a nice foyer to provide a buffer from the outside hustle and bustle of Mardi Gras.
McLain Homes, LLC , founded in 2002, is the culmination of a lifetime of experience in real estate and construction, and has a solid reputation for building beautiful homes and stunning neighborhoods.
Owner Bryan McLain grew up in a family of builders in the rural area of Covington, Louisiana. His impeccable workmanship and commitment to customer satisfaction were passed down to him by his father and grandfather. Each of his homes is built with a lifestyle in mind.
Bryan's enthusiasm for artistic, old-world design has made him one of south Louisiana's most sought after builders. His passion for antique architectural woods, old bricks and authentic European finishes and a lifetime of experience are the tools he uses to create the "McLain Home." Bryan's wife Sylvia's love of nature and horticulture also play a key role when locating properties. Soft hills and unique land topography are features in many McLain Homes.
Bryan and Sylvia work together to create living environments that are truly special. Their family village type neighborhoods offer parks, mature trees, nature trails, tree houses, baseball playing fields, and soft streetscapes lit with gas lanterns and cobbled streets.
Bryan & Sylvia's diligence through good and bad economic times is evident as they look forward to each new project, development, home, and charity in our community.

When building your new home, it is important to be aware of proper insurance coverage. McLain Homes provides a "Builders Risk" policy. This is an insurance policy to protect your new construction from things like fire, wind, and sometimes theft. McLain Homes also operates under the state recommended guidelines and is in compliance with workers' compensation and general liability laws. Policy information is available upon request.
McLain Homes feels a responsibility to each of their clients to recommend that you take time to review the New Home Warranty Act. Its' purpose is to provide state legislation that outlines the responsibility of the builder. The act states that "The legislature finds a need to promote commerce in Louisiana by providing clear, concise, and mandatory warranties for the purchasers and occupants of new homes in Louisiana and by providing for the use of homeowners’ insurance as additional protection for the public against defects in the construction of new homes.
This need can be met by providing a warranty for a new home purchaser defining the responsibility of the builder to that purchaser and subsequent purchasers during the warranty periods provided herein. The warranty, which is mandatory in most cases, shall apply whether or not building code regulations are in effect in the location of the structure, thereby promoting uniformity of defined building standards. Additionally, all provisions of this Chapter shall apply to any defect although there is no building standard directly regulating the defective workmanship or materials.
Please visit the New Home Warranty act link for more information.
