On the way back from Texas, we stayed in Baton Rouge an extra night so I could visit the old State House (capital) building. I’ve developed something of a fascination with Huey Long over the last few years, and there are some artifacts there related to him, as well as a animated Huey robot that carries on conversations with an old radio. Not sure what ol’ Huey would think about that …

Around sunset the night we arrived, I headed downtown to take some photos. Here are two of my favorites, along with a photo of the riverfront exterior of the building the next day.

I wholeheartedly recommend you visit the old State House if you’re in the area. It’s a truly remarkable building.

While I was there, I picked up a bio of Huey. I’m about halfway done with it now … it’s a fascinating read. The book in question is Huey Long, by T. Harry Williams.
