New Orleans - Presbytere

To the north-east is the Presbytere (1817), originally the presbytery, which later housed the Supreme Court of Louisiana and is now occupied by a section of the Louisiana State Museum.

The Presbytere was originally called the Casa Curial (Ecclesiastical House) and was named since it was built on the site of the residence, or presbytere, of the Capuchin monks. The building now houses the Louisiana Portrait Gallery and an exhibit called "Mardi Gras: It's Carnival Time in Louisiana."
