  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.
