In 1964, the National Maritime Union of America commissioned New Orleans-based<b> architect Albert Ledner</b> to design a new headquarters for the Union, on Seventh Avenue between 12th and 13th Streets. Two years later, he designed an annex for the headquarters on the site where Dream currently sits. A few years later, Mr. Ledner designed a flanking wing for the annex, which would eventually be converted to the <b>Maritime Hotel</b>.
