Emergency Repairs To Begin At Cabildo, Presbytere

The Louisiana State Museum says moisture intrusion at the 200-year-old French Quarter buildings has put the plaster and stucco at risk of breaking off, potentially falling onto pedestrians outside or damaging museum artifacts inside the buildings. The Louisiana Division of Administration's interim emergency board approved more than $945,000 in state funds for the repairs; the Louisiana Department of Culture, Recreation and Tourism will dedicate $2.46 million from its annual budget. In a news release, officials said the problems came to light during recent exterior renovations, which included removal of an elastomeric coating applied in the 1990s.
