    No Caption: c. 1920. Image of the main building of Sutter's Fort. John Sutter established the fort in 1839, calling it New Helvetia. After the discovery of gold at one of Sutter's mills (at Coloma, on the American River), almost all of the fort's inhabitants left for the gold fields in the foothills. The fort deteriorated until being restored from 1891-1893. The Native Sons of the Golden West were influential in the restoration. The fort is now the site of a State Historic Park.

    Caption: "Saint Louis Cathedral, New Orleans, Louisiana. June 16, 1934." St. Louis Cathedral anchors one end of Jackson Square in New Orleans' French Quarter. The structure of the cathedral largely dates to the 1850 restoration and expansion of an older cathedral built on the site in 1793. Very little of the older church survived, although the central bell tower (added on to the older church in 1819) was reused in the new structure and is still extant today. A statue of Andrew Jackson mounted on a rearing horse (Clark Mills, sculptor) stands in the square in front of the cathedral. The sculpture was erected in 1856. See also 96-07-08-alb09-231.

    Caption: "Cabildo or Old Spanish Jail and St. Louis Cathedral -- New Orleans, June 16, 34." The façade of the Cabildo dominates this photograph, while the corner of St. Louis Cathedral is visible at the right. The Cabildo was the seat of government for New Orleans while the area was under Spanish jurisdiction. The building was also the site of the transfer ceremonies when the U.S. purchased the Louisiana Territory from France in 1803. Although damaged by fire in 1988, the restored Cabildo survived Hurricane Katrina in 2005 with only minor damage.
