Old City Hall

Stuccoed brick, five bays wide, with a pedimented portico of four Doric columns: the Greek Revival courthouse of Iberville Parish is a textbook of its style. It stood as the parish courthouse until 1906, then served as Plaquemine's city hall until 1985. The National Register listed it on May 31, 1980, and it is a contributing building in the Plaquemine Historic District, designated October 30, 1989. Restored, the building now houses the Iberville Museum on Main Street.
