National American Bank Building, located at 200 Carondelet Street in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana, is a 23-story, 330 feet (101 m)-tall skyscraper. It is recognized for its golden Art Deco spire, and from a distance, appears to contrast with the tower of the Hibernia bank building.
In the early 2000s it was renovated and repurposed as an apartment building, renamed "200 Carondelet".

—Jonathan Swift (1667–1745)
“It was like passing a boundary to dive
Into the sun-filled water, brightly leafed
And limbed and lighted out from bank to bank.
That’s how the stars shine during the day.”

“The limits of prudence: one cannot jump out of a burning building gradually.”
