The building that we know today as the Cabildo served as New Orleans’ City Hall from 1805-1852. This 1838 view shows the Cabildo and Presbytere before the addition of their mansard roofs and cupolas. It also shows St. Louis Cathedral as it appeared prior to the J. N. B. DePouilly renovation of 1849-1851.
