The Frederick Sigur Center Auditorium & Mezzanine The Frederick Sigur Center Grand Ballrooms The Frederick Sigur Center North Ballrooms The Frederick Sigur Center South Ballroom Historic St. Bernard Courthouse 1201 Bayou Road St. Bernard, Louisiana 70085 THE PRESENT Historic St. Bernard Parish Courthouse was designed by the architectural firm of Toledano and Wogan in New Orleans in 1914. Toledano and Wogan designed some of the most important structures in New Orleans including the Grunewald (Roosevelt) Hotel, De Soto (Le Pavillon) Hotel, Monteleone Hotel and Werlein’s Music Store on Canal Street. The principal partners in the firm descended from prominent families who owned St. Bernard sugar plantations in the 18th and 19th centuries and were related to the Beauregard, Ducros, Olivier and Reggio families. There have been five courthouses in St. Bernard Civil Parish. This is the third courthouse on this site. The property was sold to St. Bernard Parish by Vicente Nunez in 1848 for the sum of $1.00 to establish a parish seat in the center of the populated areas of St. Bernard. The first courthouse on this site was completed in 1848. It was raised on brick piers and of wooden stud construction. It was abandoned after the Civil War and the courthouse was illegally relocated to Stocklanding (Arabi), Louisiana. After reconstruction, the courthouse briefly returned to St. Bernard Village in 1880 until it burned in 1884. Once more, the courthouse was temporarily relocated to Stocklanding (Arabi) though legally this time. Harmon Turner, a resident of St. Bernard Village, received the contract to build the second St. Bernard Parish Courthouse on the site. It was constructed on elevated brick piers, was of wooden stud construction with a hipped roof. A wooden cupola surmounted the roof. Constant concerns were voiced about building a new courthouse which would be larger and more fire resistant. Toledano and Wogan designed a building which was 80% fire proof. The walls and floors are all of poured concrete. The balustrades, balusters (railings and spindles), columns and decorative plaster work are also poured concrete. The original grand staircase leading to the second and third floors is of cast iron. White marble stairs set an impressive tone at the front entrance, as do marble base boards on the first floor. Only the doors, door surrounds, window surrounds, windows and flooring in several rooms are wooden. The colors used throughout the courthouse were recorded in the building specifications which, with the original plans, are housed in the Southeast Architectural Archives in Tulane University. The frieze on the ceiling in the old courtroom on the second floor is of acanthus leaf design and the decorative molding on the wall where the ceiling cove begins is of egg and dart design. Acanthus leaves signify strength and stability of rule. The egg symbolizes birth and life and the dart symbolizes death. Both decorative motifs were borrowed from Roman symbolism and architectural design. The courthouse floor plan is taken from the designs of Italian Renaissance architect Andrea Palladio who influenced the work of Thomas Jefferson and the design of the United States Capital in Washington, D.C. Construction on the building began in 1914 and completed in 1915 by Jefferson Construction Company for the sum of $64,893. The catastrophic 1915 Hurricane damaged the courthouse and it was repaired after less than three-month occupancy. While functioning as a courthouse, the Assessor, Sheriff and Tax Collector, Clerk of Court, Police Jury, Home Demonstration Agent, and Commodity Distribution Office occupied the first floor. The second floor was dominated by the courtroom, with District Attorney and Welfare offices on either side of the cast iron staircase and judge’s chambers and a jury room on the lower bayou or eastern side of the second floor. There was dead space on the third floor above the judge’s chambers and jury room and offices used for various purposes including, at first, the Parish School Board on the third floor at the head of the cast iron staircase. A spectator’s balcony was also accessed from the third floor at the head of the cast iron staircase. A special election was held Wednesday, August 31st, 1938 to determine whether the courthouse would be moved from St. Bernard Village, where it had been for ninety years, to its present location in Jackson Terrace, Chalmette. Of 1365 votes cast in seven wards throughout St. Bernard Parish, 1360 votes were cast in favor of moving the courthouse and FIVE were cast against the proposition. The courthouse moved to Chalmette in 1939. The original courthouse had been located in the yard of St. Bernard Catholic Church and is depicted there on the La Tourette Map of 1844. Thus, the seat of St. Bernard Parish shifted from its eastern section to Chalmette in the westernmost part of St. Bernard after 158 years. St. Bernard School was established in the former courthouse in 1940. A concrete staircase was added on the eastern – lower bayou side of the building in 1939 connecting the first, second and third floors. Classrooms were established in the third floor dead space above the judge’s chambers/jury room. In time, St. Bernard School developed into St. Bernard High School which remained there until 1966. P. G. T. Beauregard High School for young ladies was established in 1966 and continued in operation until 1988. The school then became P. G. T. Beauregard Middle School which operated until 2005 and Hurricane Katrina. After Hurricane Katrina, the building and former P. G. T. Beauregard Middle School campus were used as Camp Hope, a facility to house volunteers coming to St. Bernard to participate in the rebuilding effort following Katrina. FEMA funding subsidized the restoration of the Historic St. Bernard Parish Courthouse which began in 2010 and was completed in 2012. Improvements to the structure included the construction of a three story addition on its rear/north-facing side to house an elevator, fire stairway, mechanical rooms, restrooms on the upper two floors and other improvements. The Historic St. Bernard Parish Courthouse is one of the finest early 20th century buildings constructed in the Greater New Orleans Region.

  • INSTITUTE’S BRADLEY CENTER for PHILANTHROPY and CIVIC RENEWAL Presents a Discussion Of
    — EDITED TRANSCRIPT— HUDSON INSTITUTE’s BRADLEY CENTER FOR PHILANTHROPY AND CIVIC RENEWAL presents a discussion of IN THE Wednesday, September 20, 2006 • 12:00―2:00 p.m. The Betsy and Walter Stern Conference Center • Hudson Institute, 1015 15th St., N.W., Ste. 600 Without doubt, Hurricane Katrina highlighted the deficiencies of many American public institutions. This story has dominated the national headlines. But it’s also clear that America’s tradition of voluntarism and civic renewal—embodied in federal and state service programs as well as in local, grassroots, often faith-based groups—came through the storm with its reputation intact, if not enhanced. On September 20, 2006, Hudson Institute’s Bradley Center for Philanthropy and Civic Renewal brought some of the leaders of the service communities up from the Gulf Coast to tell the stories one doesn’t get from the news media. Panelists included MALCOLM JONES , city attorney for Pass Christian, Miss., DIANN PAYNE of the Mississippi Commission for Volunteer Service, KEVIN BROWN of the Trinity Christian Community in New Orleans, KIMBERLY REESE , director of service learning at Xavier University, New Orleans, and NOAH HOPKINS , team leader of AmeriCorps*NCCC in St. Bernard Parish, La. The Bradley Center’s own WILLIAM SCHAMBRA served as the discussion’s moderator. PROGRAM 11:45 a.m. Registration, lunch buffet 12:00 p.m. Welcome and panel discussion 12:45 Question-and-answer session 2:00 Adjournment THIS TRANSCRIPT WAS PREPARED FROM A TAPE RECORDING AND EDITED BY KRISTA SHAFFER.

  • Why Participate?
    Alternative Spring Break 2015 General Information Thank you for your interest in Eastern Kentucky University’s Alternative Spring Break (ASB) 2015! This 9th year of ASB promises to be as exciting and rewarding as ever, and we’re glad you’re considering spending your Spring Break week as an active citizen. What is an Alternative Spring Break Trip? An alternative spring break is a trip where a group of college students (usually 10-11) engage in volunteer service for a week. Each trip has a focus on a particular social issue, such as (but not limited to) poverty, education, public health, and the environment. Students learn about the social issues and then perform week-long projects with local non-profit organizations, around their respective issues. Alternative spring breaks challenge students to critically think and react to problems faced by members of the communities they are involved with. Being immersed in diverse environments enables participants to experience, discuss, and understand social issues in a significant way. Why Participate? The aim of the experience is to contribute volunteer hours to communities in need, and to positively influence your life. After a trip, breakers are empowered to take educated steps toward valuing and prioritizing their own communities in life choices such as recycling, donating resources, voting, etc. Students can also receive 1 hour of academic credit for this experience. 521 Lancaster Ave. 128 Powell Student Center .
