About This Image

This building is where the Spanish, French, and Louisiana governments met. It is also where the Louisiana Purchase was signed and was used as a jail to hold Pierre Lafitte among others. There was also a courtroom here in which the preliminary case of Plessy v Ferguson was heard among others.

Thanks for the comment. There is a reason that the architecture looks so European. It was designed and constructed by 1st or 2nd generation European immigrants.

Amazing history of this building. The architecture looks like something from Paris, France. Nice shot.
