Quick facts Location, Coordinates ...

Built in 1835, the old courthouse is a two-story brick structure in Federal style. The building was originally a bank owned by the New Orleans Gas Light and Banking Company. When the bank failed in 1843, the building was acquired by the parish, and served as the parish courthouse until 1872, when the parish seat was moved to Port Vincent. The building was subsequently used as a voting precinct until it was purchased by J.S. Settoon family, which used it to host as a grocery store until 1920. After that time the building has been rented as a meeting place and used as a residence.[2][3]

The building was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on August 7, 1989.[1]
