A Different View Of The Capitol Of Louisiana Bldg.
Uploaded: October 10, 2008
At the Very top flies a United States of America Flag and below It a Louisiana State Flag. (Something that may be of interest)
The Yazoo and Mississippi Valley Railroad company built a rail spur which stopped at the Capitol construction site. Approximately 2,500 carloads of materials were brought via this rail spur for use on the capitol. The total number of rail carloads consisted of 500 loads of tile, 285 of sand, 240 of gravel, 200 of limestone, 190 of cement, 108 of bricks, 50 of marble, 30 of bronze, 26 of granite, 24 of ornamental iron, and 20 of terrazzo.
On May 16, 1932, a mere 14 months after construction began, the new building was dedicated to the citizens of Louisiana. Ironically, Huey P. Long was unable to attend because of pressing senatorial duties in Washington D.C.
