The reconstructed double-shotgun camelback at 5200 Dauphine (Dauphine & Lizardi) continues to make progress - and soon will be the new home for the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association and the Lower 9th Ward Center for Sustainable Engagement and Development (CSED). This new structure will feature many materials from the historic building that stood there (and once the site of the old Ruiz Sandwich Shop). Crews from Historic Green assisted with the deconstruction in March 2009; the completed center will be donated to the neighborhood, courtesy of the Preservation Resource Center.
