Старый Капитолий (Батон-Руж)

Старый Капитолий штата Луизиана — историческое здание правительства штата Луизиана (Соединённые Штаты Америки) в столице штата городе Батон-Руж, в настоящее время — музей. Национальный исторический памятник США с 1974 года. В 1846 году законодательное собрание штата Луизиана приняло решение о переносе резиденции правительства штата из Нового Орлеана, бывшего в ту пору четвёртым по величине городом США, в небольшой город Батон-Руж с населением менее трёх тысяч человек. 21 сентября 1847 года город безвозмездно предоставил штату для строительства капитолия участок земли ценой в 20 тысяч долларов на высоком берегу Миссисипи; по преданию, именно здесь располагался индейский «красный столб», давший название городу. Нью-Йоркский архитектор Джеймс Харрисон Дейкин не стал, как в других штатах, подражать столичному Капитолию, а спроектировал для Луизианы подобие средневекового готического замка с видом на реку. В 1859 году здание удостоилось высокой оценки самого авторитетного тогда в южных штатах журнала De Bow's Review. Когда в 1862 году в боях Гражданской войны Батон-Руж был захвачен войсками адмирала Фаррагута, северяне разместили в Капитолии тюрьму, а позже казарму цветных частей генерала Калвера Гровера. Здание сильно пострадало в двух пожарах, и после того как его покинула Армия Союза, выглядело довольно жалко. Тем не менее, благодаря реконструкции под руководством Уильяма Альфреда Фререта, законченной к 1882 году, Капитолий штата Луизиана обзавёлся подлинными жемчужинами интерьера — центральной винтовой лестницей и витражным куполом над ней. Правительство штата покинуло Замок на реке в 1932 году, переехав в новое здание Капитолия чикагской архитектурной школы. Здесь располагались офисы федеральных служб и ветеранские организации. В конце XX века здание отреставрировали и с 2010 года в Старом Капитолии разместился Музей политической истории. В музее восстановлены историческая приёмная и кабинет губернатора штата. Отдельная экспозиция посвящена Хьюи Лонгу, знаменитому губернатору Луизианы и одному из двух за всю историю США сенаторов, убитых на своём посту. Здесь проводятся массовые собрания и театральные постановки, в том числе ежегодный исторический бал, где гости, одетые по моде XVIII—XIX веков, возрождают танцы и культуру французского периода.

Стара резиденція губернатора Луїзіани

Стара резиденція губернатора Луїзіани (англ. Old Louisiana Governor's Mansion) — маєток губернатора штату Луїзіана розташовується в Батон-Руж і використовувався в період з 1930 по 1961 рр. Після того як Х'юї Лонг став губернатором штату виявилось, що старий будинок губернатора кишить термітами і вирішили збудувати новий. За модель взяли резиденцію президента США — Білий дім у Вашингтоні. Проте після завершення будівництва Лонг відмовився переселитись в маєток і після інавгурації продовжував жити в готелі «Гейдельберг» у Батон-Руж, а його родина залишилася вдома в Шрівпорті. Будівництво вартувало майже $150000. Будинок був розкішно обставлений і слугував резиденцією губернаторів до 1961 р. У 1963 р. було збудовано Нову резиденцію губернатора Луїзіани, на схід від Капітолія Луїзіани.

Old Vicksburg Bridge

The Old Vicksburg Bridge, also known as Mississippi River Bridge, is a cantilever bridge carrying one rail line across the Mississippi River between Delta, Louisiana and Vicksburg, Mississippi. History It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1989. It was built by the Vicksburg Bridge & Terminal Co. during 1928-1930 and has three cantilevered truss spans and three Parker truss spans. Until 1998, the bridge was open to motor vehicles and carried U.S. Route 80 (US 80) across the Mississippi River. It is now only a railroad bridge, though one road lane runs through the bridge for inspection by workers. It was replaced by the new Vicksburg Bridge, a short distance down river, for vehicle crossings. During this period, a rather unusual system was used to accommodate tractor-trailer traffic on the bridge. Located at each end of the bridge were railroad-style signal towers that required trucks to stop on command. Prior to installation of the towers trucks were allowed to traverse the bridge alongside other passenger and train traffic. Once put in place the towers effectively closed off traffic for all vehicles in both directions to allow trucks to cross the bridge alone, using the full width of both of the narrow lanes. Due to numerous safety concerns, crossings by trucks were limited to daytime, with trucks being required to wait until dawn before being allowed on the bridge.

Omni Royal Orleans

The Omni Royal Orleans is a 345-room hotel on the corner of St. Louis and Royal Streets near Jackson Square in the French Quarter of New Orleans, Louisiana. It was constructed in 1960 as The Royal Orleans Hotel, on the site of the old St. Louis Hotel, which was completely destroyed in the 1915 New Orleans hurricane. Earlier the site had been The City Exchange, a slave auction site until the 1830s. The exterior was designed by architect Samuel Wilson Jr., while the interior was designed by Arthur Davis. The hotel has been rated four diamonds by AAA. Its address is 621 St. Louis Street. A partnership led by Darryl Berger, Jr., and the Berger Company, Inc., purchased the Royal Orleans in 2008.

The Grand Salon ballroom of the Omni Royal Orleans has been a popular location for social events among New Orleans families for decades. The hotel's restaurant, the Rib Room, is frequented by many of the city's politicians and attorneys, particularly at lunch on Fridays. It is often called the "Royal O" or just "the Royal" by New Orleanians. Jazz pianist and composer Armand Hug had a steady gig at the Royal Orleans for decades. The job was later filled by the noted New Orleans composer and professor of music Roger Dickerson, and subsequently by another local pianist, Bob Ellis.

Notable guests Among many notable guests who have stayed at the hotel are Louis Armstrong and the Rolling Stones. In popular culture In Live and Let Die (1973), James Bond stays at the Royal Orleans.

Orpheum Theater (New Orleans)

The Orpheum Theater is a theater in the Central Business District of New Orleans, Louisiana. Also known as the RKO Orpheum, it was designed by G. Albert Lansburgh, built in 1918, and opened for vaudeville in 1921. The Beaux Arts style building has 1,500 seats, and went on to host silent movies, “talkies,” live music and a range of other shows. In 1983, the Orpheum was scheduled for demolition but was acquired by the New Orleans Philharmonic Symphony Orchestra, and underwent a $3 million renovation. It served as the orchestra's home theater until the orchestra's financial demise in 1991. Under new ownership, the Orpheum became the home of the newly formed Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO), whose musicians prized the auditorium for its acoustical purity. The theater is an example of "vertical hall" construction, initially built to provide perfect sight lines and acoustics for vaudeville shows which did not have the benefit of amplifiers or modern lighting. The Orpheum Theater was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. It was also included in the NRHP listing of the New Orleans Lower Central Business District in 1991. The theater was severely damaged in 2005 by Hurricane Katrina and the associated levee failure floodwaters and was sold to a Dallas businessman. It was then sold to Axiom Global Properties in 2011 (formerly Orpheum Properties, Inc.). Neither of these owners succeeded in restoring the theater to commerce. The theater was purchased in February 2014 by Dr. Eric George, who completed a $13 million renovation. Renovations included installing a new hydraulic floor that can be lifted and lowered to create sloped or flat footing, which allows it to accommodate concerts and events. Additionally, the upgrade included an expanded marble lobby, enlarged seating, additional bathrooms, multiple bars. George and his investment company, ERG Enterprises, completed a subsequent renovation in 2020 by opening a speakeasy bar in the basement of the theater. The venue, called the Double Dealer, opened January 24, 2020. The theater reopened in August 2015. The first event was held on September 17, 2015, with a performance by the Louisiana Philharmonic Orchestra (LPO). The LPO has since become the anchor tenant for the theater.
