Building that houses Royal N'Orleans for sale

The historic building which houses the Royal N'Orleans Restaurant at 300 Broadway is for sale, commercial real estate broker Cynthia DeJournett Autsin, said Friday.

The Royal N'Orleans restaurant operators lease the space from Austin's clients and there are no plans in place to sell the business at this time, Austin said.

The property was placed on the market for $750,000, Austin said.

Construction on the building began in 1868, and fires ravaged its frame twice. The restaurant opened in the 1950s.
