The present state capitol building of Louisiana, located in Baton Rouge, will forever be entwined with the political career of Huey Pierce Long. It was Long's idea for the state to construct a new building for the statehouse in 1928 when he was running for Governor of the State of Louisiana. The construction of the building was part of his political platform, as well as the notion to place the state capitol on the site, which was once Louisiana State University and formerly a military post known as the Pentagon Barracks. Included was a strip of land on which the Arsenal Museum was located.
The Louisiana State Capitol is considered a National Historic Landmark. The structure was the idea of Gov. Huey Long, who was assassinated in the building in 1935. The capitol building stands 34 stories tall and construction took 29 months. The building was completed in 1932. Long is buried in the center of the Capitol Gardens with his grave marked with a statue. The Capitol Building is open to the public for tours and there is no fee for admission.
