Comments

There are conflicts regarding date of completion and length of construction time:

Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation, and Tourism (http://www.crt.state.la.us/crt/tourism/capitol/capitol.htm)
Lousiana State Legislature (http://house.legis.state.la.us/pubinfo/virtual%20tour/lacaphistory.htm)
National Park Service (http://www.cr.nps.gov/nr/travel/louisiana/cap.htm)

Two pages say it was completed May 1932, one page says March 1932; two pages say 14 months of construction, one page says 29 months.

Also, is there any standing assumption concering the licensing of images provided on state and federal government sites? There are images available on those locations (e.g. http://house.legis.state.la.us/pubinfo/virtual%20tour/dayshot.jpg) but I am unsure as to the policy and attribution on these images. --Sertrel 09:06, 20 September 2005 (UTC)[reply]

There is no reason that the link "A Little Perspective on $87 billion" should be in this article so I have removed it. Jared s 22 03:17, 11 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Why does the history of the Louisiana State Capitol begin with the founding of New Orleans?

I haven't found another state capitol Wikipedia page that does this. It feels like too much context - how are the Louisiana Purchase and a very obscure treaty relevant? How far back do we need to go? The Mayflower? Chaws1 (talk) 02:15, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
