A Former Home for Diplomats
For a while, the Entergy Tower was home to the Consulate-General of Japan in New Orleans. A consulate is like a special office. It helps people from one country, like Japan, who are visiting or living in another country, like the United States. It also helps with business and cultural connections between the two countries.
In 2006, the Japanese government decided to move their consulate. They moved it from New Orleans to Nashville, Tennessee. This move happened so the consulate could be closer to many Japanese companies and businesses that had set up in the Nashville area.
