From the New Orleans Jazz History Lafayette Square and Business District Walking Tour brochure: “545 St. Charles Street: Originally the headquarters for the 2nd Municipality, this hall was constructed in 1845 and designed by James Gallier (Sr.), renowned New Orleans architect. It became City Hall for a century. For a half-century it has been a reception hall, and throughout it all, the site of constant music.”
