Description
The Louisiana Supreme Court Building has a long and interesting history. It's construction in 1910 was cause for controversy about it's location. An entire block of historic shops and businesses were demolished to make room for a massive structure that many believed did not fit the style of the French Quarter neighborhood.
The courthouse was designed by Frederick and Ten Eyck Brown of the Brown, Brown and Marye architecture firm in Atlanta, Georgia and opened for business on October 1, 1910.
In 1958 the court moved to a newer building and the original building suffered decades of neglect. In 1991 Pio Lyons was chosen as the architect for the renovation, which was completed in 2004 and the court once again ruled from this historic structure. This photograph was taken in 2005.
