Description
Photo taken in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Louisiana's Old State Capitol is a building in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, that housed the Louisiana State Legislature from the mid-19th century until the current capitol tower building was constructed in 1929.
It is built both to look like and function like a castle and has led some locals to call it the Louisiana Castle, the Castle of Baton Rouge, the Castle on the River or the Museum of Political History, though most people just call it the old capitol building. The term "Old State Capitol" in Louisiana is used to refer to the building and not to the two towns that were formerly the capital city: New Orleans and Donaldsonville.
