Fodor's Review:

One of twin Spanish colonial-style buildings flanking St. Louis Cathedral, this one, on the right, was designed to house the priests of the cathedral; instead, it served as a courthouse under the Spanish and later under the Americans. The building's cupola, destroyed by a hurricane in 1915, was restored in 2005 to match the one atop its twin. Fortunately, the new cupola withstood Katrina's winds, and the buildings once again mirror each other as they did throughout the 19th century.
