Description Condition Check one Check one excellent deteriorated y unaltered x original site x good ruins altered moved date fair unexposed Describe the present and original (if known) physical appearance The Louisiana Capitol is a 34-story, 450-foot, Alabama limestone, sculptured skyscraper designed by Weiss, Dreyfous, and Seiferth of New Orleans in 1929 under the administration of Governor Huey P. Long. The building is set on a high basement which contains service spaces. The ground lobby of "Memorial Hall" is approached from the south via a grand frontal stairway with one step for each of the forty- eight states which existed when the Capitol was built. The grand stairway is flanked by a pair of monumental sculptured figure groups modeled by Lorado Taft and executed by C. M. Dodd. The east group is dominated by an armored soldier and the mourners of a warrior slain in battle. The west group depicts "men and women of vision who created a state out of hostile wilderness." The "Memorial Hall" is entered through a massive four (4)-story rectangular opening carved in bas-relief with paneled bronze and glass doors. The Hall itself is 124 feet long and 40 feet wide. It rises to a shallow vaulted ceiling which sets upon a light entablature. The walls are articulated with pairs of stylized, fluted pilaster strips without capitals. These are executed in dark marble, which contrasts with the light marble of the walls. The end walls are decorated with murals by Jules Guerin and depict agriculture in the state. The hall is flanked by a pair of massive bronze doors which lead to the House Chamber on the east and the Senate Chamber on the west. These chambers occur in the wings, which flank the main sky­ scraper tower. Each chamber has a marble interior similar to the "Memorial Hall." There is an auxiliary space to the rear of the Hall which originally had four freestanding columns; "two of these columns have been removed. The columns, however, still exist and are slated to be replaced. Flanking this auxiliary space is a pair of elevator blocks which provide access to the office tower for the Governor and state officials. The exterior is the most impressive aspect of the building. It is massed as a progression of repeating blocks which rise to a central square tower. As the tower rises, it cuts away in stages from a square plan to an octagonal plan. The transition from square to octagon is made by four massive allegorical busts which occur at corners near the top of the main shaft. The detailing is worthy of note. The ground floor of the building is articulated with pilaster strips similar to those in the "Memorial Hall." There is also a shallow relief frieze formed of stylized figures. The upper octagonal cupola has a large pedimented window on all four sides; this area is garnished with symbolic stylized motifs. There is more carved ornamentation in this area than in any other part of the exterior building. The transition from the cupola to the beacon is by four massive flying buttresses. 8.

The belittled antecedent of Long's "it" was the old state capitol one of Louisiana's most venerable and architecturally important edifices. Designed by James Dakin and constructed in 1849, the capitol is one of the finest examples in the South of Gothic revival architecture. As of 1930, it was a symbol of the continuity of the political domination of Louisiana's tra­ ditional social and economic elite over the State's fortunes. Long perceived his election as governor in 1928 as a mandate to end the "hierarchy's" hold on state politics. A new capitol he thought, would symbolize the end of the old order. The edifice would say to the people of Lousiana and the rest of the United States that Louisiana had entered the modern era. History It is unclear when Huey Long first got the idea to include the construction of a new capitol on the agenda of the improvements he desired to bring to Louisiana. In 1924, when he first ran for governor, Long castigated then governor John M. Parker for tearing down the old buildings at Louisiana State University and moving the school to a new campus. "These are buildings," Long said, "for which we hold dear memories." By the time of his election in 1928, Huey had apparently changed his mind about the state's older buildings. One of his first acts as governor was to propose the construction of a new governor's mansion. When his political opponents protested that the old mansion was good enough for Long's predecessors, thus it should be good enough for the upstart from Winn Parish, Long ordered convicts from the state prison to tear down the old mansion. Long may have gotten the idea to build a new capitol as early as 1927 or it might have been in 1929. According to one account, he was one day in 1929 in New Orleans attending the dedication- of a new furniture store, when he turned to the man sitting next to him and told him that he was looking for an archi­ tectural firm to design a new capitol. The man Long was talking to, as Huey probably knew, was Leon Weiss of the architectural firm of Weiss, Dreyfous, and Seiferth. The firm had a reputation of being "political," i.e. it had designed many public buildings around the state. Weiss naturally immediately answered that his firm had the capability to handle the commission. In January 1930, Long announced that a new capitol was a part of his program. Concurrently, he secured Board of Liquidation funds to begin design work. Since Governor Long controlled these funds, he was able to begin the building without having to place a bond issue before the voters. Once the design work was under­ way, the construction of a new capitol became almost impossible to stop. In May, Long said that the building would cost $1,000,000. This figure proved much too 9.

Barthé, Jr. (Doctorate of Philosophy in History) Becoming American in Creole New Orleans: Family, Community, Labor and Schooling, 1896-1949 Summary: The Louisiana Creole community in New Orleans went through profound changes in the first half of the 20th-century. This work examines Creole ethnic identity, focusing particularly on the transition from Creole to American. In "becoming American," Creoles adapted to a binary, racialized caste system prevalent in the Jim Crow American South (and transformed from a primarily Francophone/Creolophone community (where a tripartite although permissive caste system long existed) to a primarily Anglophone community (marked by stricter black-white binaries). These adaptations and transformations were facilitated through Creole participation in fraternal societies, the organized labor movement and public and parochial schools that provided English-only instruction.

  • Katrina: a Man- Made Disaster by Michael Grunwald
    Back to Article Click to Print Wednesday, Nov. 24, 2010 Katrina: A Man- Made Disaster By Michael Grunwald It's been five years since the levees broke and New Orleans drowned, since an unremarkable storm left behind unspeakable horrors. Five years since those indelible images of corpses floating in ditches and families screaming on rooftops, since that nauseating frenzy of buck-passing and blame-shifting. It was a heckuva job all around. It took a while, but the prevailing narrative is finally starting to reflect that Katrina was a man-made disaster, not a natural disaster, triggered by shoddy engineering, not an overwhelming hurricane. Even the stubborn generals of the Army Corps of Engineers eventually admitted the "catastrophic failure" of the city's defenses. Now the U.S. is spending $15 billion to build sturdier flood walls and stronger pumps in smarter locations; the Army Corps even shut down the misbegotten Mississippi River Gulf Outlet, a little- used navigation canal that intensified Katrina's surge and ushered it into New Orleans. (Watch TIME's video "Reckoning With a Manmade Disaster.") The good news is that the city is somewhat less vulnerable than it was five years ago. It still isn't ready for the Big One, but it should be able to handle a glorified near miss like Katrina. The bad news is that America still hasn't learned the deeper lessons of the 2005 hurricane. Bad weather and worse engineering were just the immediate causes of the tragedy, like the assassination of the archduke that launched World War I, but not the underlying causes.

DUPRE LITTON Tape 1 Mr. Litton graduated from the LSU Law School in 1942, having been president of Phi Delta phi Legal Fraternity, associate editor of Law Review, and the first LSU student named to the Order of the Coif. During a period of thirty-four years, Mr. Litton served in numerous important governmental capacities, including executive counsel to the governor, chairman of the ~ state board of tax appeals, first assistant attorney general, and legal advisor to the legislature. Q. Mr. Litton, your career in state government has closely involved you with the administrations of this state through several governors, dating back to the time of Huey Long. Would youqive us your recollections of the high points in these administrations? A. Thank you, Mrs. Pierce. My recollection of the governors of Louisiana dates back even prior to 1930, which was some 50 years ago. However, in 1930, I entered LSU, and at that time, Huey P. Long was governor. He had been elected in 1928. I recall that on a number of occasions, I played golf at the Westdale Country Club, which is now called Webb Memorial Country Club, I believe, and I saw Huey Long playing golf, accompanied, generally by some twelve to fifteen bodyguards who were on both sides of him, as he putted or drove. Enough has been written about Huey Long that it would probably be superfluous for us here at this time to go into any details concerning him. However, history will undoubtedly recall that Huey Long was one of the most powerful and one of the most brilliant governors in Louisiana history.

CC 73 and the Birth of the Modern Louisiana Two- Party System Wayne Parent* Jeremy Mhire** The 1973' Louisiana Constitutional Convention ("CC 73") happened at a significant moment in Louisiana's political history. It occurred at precisely the same time that Louisiana's present competitive two-party system was born. While the emergence of a two-party system in Louisiana was slow, even when compared to those of the other formerly Democratic dominant states in the Deep South, it was dramatic and has had lasting effects. CC 73 helped define the coalitions that formed the basis of our present competitive two-party system. This article will first place the constitutional convention into the temporal context of this dynamic political period in Louisiana and the American South. Then it will describe how the specific coalitions that formed in the convention became concrete precursors to our present party system and speculate on the difference it has made to present day Louisiana politics.

They record the social, political and economic lives of rich and poor, female and male, slave and free, African, Native, European and American colonials. Although the majority of the cases deal with attempts by creditors to recover unpaid debts, the colonial collection includes many successions. These documents often contain a wealth of biographical information concerning Louisiana’s colonial inhabitants. Estate inventories, records of commercial transactions, correspondence and copies of wills, marriage contracts and baptismal, marriage and burial records may be included in a succession document. The colonial document collection includes petitions by slaves requesting manumission, applications by merchants for licenses to conduct business, requests by ship captains for absolution from responsibility for cargo lost at sea, and requests by traders for permission to conduct business in Europe, the West Indies and British colonies in North America **************************************************************************** RECORD GROUP 2 SPANISH JUDICIAL RECORDS Acc. # 1849.1; 1867; 7243 Acc. # 1849.2 = playing cards, 17790402202 Acc. # 1849.3 = 1799060301 1769-1803 190.5 ln. ft (381 boxes); 2 oversize boxes Like the judicial records from the French period, but with more details given, the Spanish records show the life of all of the colony.

  • Huey Long Accomplishments Dr
    Senator/Governor Huey Long Accomplishments Dr. Frank J. Collazo January 3, 2013 Introduction Huey Pierce Long was born in Winfield, La. in 1893 to a middle class family. He liked to tell people he was from a poor background. This helped him relate to the poor people of Louisiana. He was expelled from high school for criticizing the faculty. Huey Long was a very intelligent man. He was able to pass the bar exam after only one year at Tulane Law School. Huey preferred to do battle with the powerful, large corporations and Standard Oil Company was his favorite target. Huey championed himself as a lawyer for the poor man and this strategy would benefit him politically. He had a definite plan for his rise to political power and was well on his way to becoming president before he was shot down in the new Louisiana State Capitol building that he had built by a young doctor named Carl Weis. Long took the nickname "The Kingfish," from the radio show Amos and Andy. He was a Democrat and noted for his radical populist policies. He served as Governor of Louisiana from 1928 to 1932 and as a U.S. senator from 1932 to 1935. Though a backer of Franklin D. Roosevelt in the 1932 presidential election, Long split with Roosevelt in June 1933 and allegedly planned to mount his own presidential bid. The Kingfish got much of his power in Louisiana by destroying his adversaries and rewarding his cronies. He also did much good for Louisiana by building roads and bridges and improving education.
