Central City Millworks was contracted to provide heart pine flooring as part of the renovation of buildings at Jackson Barracks, located in the Lower 9th Ward of New Orleans.

The Barracks, established in 1834, served as a military base as well as the home of the Louisiana National Guard. But during Hurricane Katrina the base was severely damaged when Federal levees failed and flood waters filled buildings, destroyed equipment, and challenged the personnel stationed there with their survival.

CCM was selected for this flooring project because our millwork shop had the source for the salvaged heart pine, and because we have the capability to store, handle, de-nail, cut, and mill it to match the original historic wood flooring that needed to be replaced.

Our photos below show the progressive phases from beams to boards to beautiful New Orleans floors.

We recently milled a large shipment of beams (that were over 100 years old) into beautiful New Orleans flooring…but ended up with a surplus we’re offering at a discount.

Our surplus of 22,000 sq. ft. of antique and classic grades is being offered at 10% below our already low prices for this exquisite material while this surplus lasts.
