This is the investigation of the Historic Courthouse in Opelousas, La. This site has been the seat of local government since 1806. There have been 5 courthouses that have stood on this square. During the Civil War, 1847, when New Orleans fell to the Union, this site served as a temporary capitol. In 1939 a grey-stoned, Art Deco structure was build and is what currently stands on the square. The 3rd floor of the building also served as a jail for many years. There were only three executions performed in the current court house. According to the Director of Administration, Mr. Bellard, two men (brothers) were hung and another individual was electrocuted.
