The building, which dates back to the 1800s, is understood to have been flooded by levee failures on the Industrial Canal due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
A new campus was built in 2007 a new site in Gentilly and the old one damaged in Hurricane Katrina was left to rot.
Photographer Abandoned Southeast said: 'Like a majority of New Orleans, Holy Cross was flooded by levee failures on the Industrial Canal due to Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
'The original campus was devastated. In 2007, Holy Cross selected a site for a new campus in Gentilly. Holy Cross remains the only all boys Catholic school in the Greater New Orleans area to offer a comprehensive pre-K through 12th grade education.'
'The school has a long history dating back to the 1800s when it was originally an orphanage. In 1837, the Congregation of Holy Cross was founded,' explained Abandoned Southeast about Holy Cross' origins.
'The Congregation took its name from a district in the city of LeMans, France – Saint Croix or Holy Cross. In 1849, the Archbishop of New Orleans invited five brothers of the Congregation of Holy Cross to New Orleans to assume responsibility for operating St. Mary's Orphanage. The city had been devastated by a series of epidemics: cholera, yellow fever, and malaria.
'In 1859, the congregation purchased Reynes Farm, a riverfront plantation. In 1879, as the need for the orphanage diminished, St. Isidore's College, a boarding and day school was opened. This became the original site on which Holy Cross School stood and it is here that Holy Cross' history officially began. The area has since become a Federal Historic District known as the 'Holy Cross District.'
'The General Assembly of the state of Louisiana chartered the institution on June 20, 1890, empowering it to confer bachelor's and master's degrees. The original administration building was built for $15,000 in 1895. At the suggestion of the Archbishop, St. Isidore's College was renamed and solemnly dedicated as Holy Cross College.
'Two wings were added to the administration building in 1912 to accommodate the incoming students. Holy Cross operated a boarding program until 1972 that attracted as many as 150 student residents each year from across the South as well as from Central and South America.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
