LOUISIANA'S OLD STATE CAPITOL
Go there and contact
Building built in 1847, whose architecture was criticized by many writers including Mark Twain in Baton Rouge.
Until Governor Huey P. Long built the present Capitol, this building was the center of Louisiana government. Built in 1847, it was burnt down during the Civil War and rebuilt in 1882. Its architecture was criticized by many writers, including Mark Twain, who said it was the most monstrous building on the banks of the Mississippi. Renovation has restored it to its former glory, with impressive stained-glass windows and mahogany ornamentation.
