About Us

The Friends were organized in 1995 by neighborhood residents who pledged to assist the City of New Orleans in maintaining and restoring the building and grounds as well as encouraging active use by the public. Since then, the Friends have grown from the 15 original members to a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization with more than 300 individual and group members. The Friends emphasize hands-on volunteer projects such as landscaping and cleanup around the buildings, but are also actively involved in raising money to fund projects such as sidewalk repair, painting, and renovation of the Stable as an Algiers Museum.

The Friends’ primary goal is to continue contemporary use of the Courthouse by adding more services and helping to maintain the structure for these uses.

History

The Algiers Courthouse, located at 225 Morgan Street near the Algiers/Canal Street Ferry, was erected in 1896 to replace the Duverje Plantation home, which served as the courthouse from 1866 until it burned in the Great Algiers Fire of 1895. The Romanesque-style building provides essential government services to Algiers and stands as a revered monument to the past of our beloved hometown.

Services include small claims court, access to property ownership information, voter registration and absentee balloting, marriage licenses, and more.

City Engineers Linus Brown and Alonzo Bell designed this building, which was erected by John McNally. The Courthouse is the third-oldest courthouse in continuous use in the State of Louisiana. It was renovated by the City of New Orleans from 1979 to 1984.
