Notes
  • Significance: The Old Louisiana State Capitol is a sham castle, belonging to the early picturesque, or romantic, phase of the Gothic Revival. It represents the castle type, which rarely occurred in the American Gothic Revival where villa and cottage forms predominated. In addition, the Old Capitol is one of the only two ante-bellum Gothic state capitols in America (the other being in Milledgeville, Georgia), where the Gothic Revival was seldom applied to governmental buildings. The exterior facades of James H. Dakin and the spectacular glass and iron fan-vaulted rotunda of William A. Freret represent the work of two important nineteenth century architects.
