Old State Capitol District

This District includes the Old State Capitol and the Auto Hotel with an extension eastward on North Boulevard. This district is anchored by the educational and cultural aspects of the newly renovated Old State Capitol. It will be expanded by a renovation and addition to the Auto Hotel to become an arts condenser for the disparate organizations in Baton Rouge. A second build­ing may provide a focus for the arts. There is sufficient open land to accommodate buildings for interested and appropriate organizations. The refurbishment of the adjacent Heidelberg Hotel will add to the vitality of this district.
