Downtown Baton Rouge Neighborhood

Downtown Baton Rouge, Louisiana is located along the banks of the Mississippi River. Florida Street forms the southern boundary of this neighborhood. Boundaries then follow Interstate 110 north on the eastern side, reaching to about half the length of Capital Lake at the northernmost point, near the Y of North River Road and North 3rd Street.

This being the capital of the state of Louisiana, the State Capitol Building is located in Downtown Baton Rouge. Situated on 27 acres of land, this building is the tallest state capitol in the United States, at 450 feet high with 34 floors. The building itself is magnificent with finely crafted décor, and is rich with historic symbolism.

Outside the capitol building are finely detailed lawns and gardens. These include the grave and a statue of assassinated governor Huey Long, the man who’s dream made this capitol a reality. The Old Arsenal Powder Magazine and Museum is also on the capitol grounds.

State Capitol Park is virtually right next door, residing on Capitol Lake. This area is home to additional state office buildings.

South of the capitol area, on North 4th Street, is the Louisiana State Museum. This museum includes exhibits on the history, culture, and industry of Louisiana. Among these are Mardi Gras themes, Mississippi River themes, musical themes, and much more. Admission is free. A guided walking tour of historical landmarks in the area titled “Walk This Way in History” also starts here. This is offered on the second Saturday of each month.

Another notable work of architecture in Downtown Baton Rouge is the Cathedral of Saint Joseph on North Street. Built in 1853, its steeple wasn’t added until 1891. This church sustained damage during the Civil War in the Battle of Baton Rouge. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1990.
