Description
Photo taken in New Orleans, Louisiana (often referred to as "the big easy" or "NOLA").
Despite its atypical New Orleans architecture and massive size, the Supreme Court Building is one of the most beautiful buildings in the French Quarter. Construction of this monumental Beaux-Arts building - the largest such building in Louisiana - started in 1908. It opened in 1910 as the New Courthouse Building and housed the Louisiana Supreme Court and the Orleans Civil District Court.
Despite the French roots of the Beaux-Arts style, there are very few such buildings in Louisiana, and the Supreme Court Building is by far the best example of this architecture style in New Orleans. The granite and marble building has a magnificent facade partially hidden behind palm trees.
