In the foreground an Old Spanish Court Building,
erected in 1795 by Don Almonaster Y. Roxas, who
gave it to the City. The Cabildo was the form of
Government of New Orleans, which succeeded the
French rule of the Superior Council of 1718, from 1767
and lasted until 1803. The transfer of Louisiana
from Spain to France and from France to the United
States took place here in 1803. The Marquis de
Lafayette lived here as a guest of the City of New
Orleans in 1825 and it now houses the Louisiana His-
torical Museum, with its interesting and valuable
exhibits and library.
