American Chicle Company Building
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.
The American Chicle Company built the building as a branch factory, which opened production in 1911.
After the gum factory closed, the building housed a box factory and an automotive parts warehouse.
It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1998.
The area flooded in the 2005 levee failure disaster during Hurricane Katrina.
After remaining vacant for years, the building was refurbished as an office building in 2008- 2009, and now houses the headquarters of Landis Construction Company.

Thomas Adams (chewing gum maker)
Thomas Adams( May 4, 1818 – February 7, 1905) was a 19th- century American scientist and inventor who is regarded as a founder of the chewing gum industry.
He eventually joined with well- known chewing gum maker William Wrigley, Jr. The Wrigley's Chewing Gum Factory was built on Staten Island in 1909 when local chemist Louis A. Dreyfus enhanced the product.
Adams conceived the idea while working as a secretary to former Mexican leader Antonio López de Santa Anna, who chewed a natural gum called chicle.
Adams first tried to formulate the gum into a rubber suitable for tires.
When that did n't work, he made the chicle into a chewing gum called Chiclets.
