Old Post Office - Baton Rouge, LA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Located on a busy downtown intersection. Easy to walk. Lots of parking. Fine building. Clean and well maintained. It is a private club now, so there was no admittance, although it was allowable to walk all around.
I could not find much history on building, like I thought I would. Here is a bit I took from the City Club website, located here .
The City Club, a magnificent brick and masonry structure with an Italian Renaissance façade, was completed in 1894 on property purchased by the United States government for $14,500 from Dr. Jean Bertrand Duchein for use as a post office and federal courthouse. After years of use for those purposes, and several years of serving as city-parish offices, the building was remodeled to become the City Club of Baton Rouge.
