The Uptown JCC building at 5342 St. Charles Avenue was built on property previously occupied by the Jewish Orphans Home. It had fallen into disrepair and was razed. The new building unveiled half a century ago is in the midst of a new capital campaign for rebuilding.
With two campuses, the JCC continues to serve both the Uptown and Metairie areas. The Metairie JCC is located on the grounds of the Goldring-Woldenberg campus at 3737 West Esplanadea Avenue.
