Historic
American Chicle Company Building
Since 1911
The American Chicle Company Building, built in 1911, is located in the Gert Town neighborhood of New Orleans, Louisiana.
The New Orleans Chamber of Commerce started campaigning for a chewing gum factory in the city in 1900. Points in favor of New Orleans as a good location for such a factory included being USA's leading port of commerce with Latin America, so much chicle was already shipped through there, and large quantities of sugar are grown and refined in Louisiana.
