This Romanesque Revival courthouse was built in 1889. Jason Freret was the architect. It is a contributing property to the Donaldsonville Historic District, which was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.

In 1830 and 31 the community of Donaldsonville briefly acted as Louisiana's state capital. The Capitol building that served from Donaldsonville stood in the large park across the street from this great red brick courthouse. That building was eventually dismantled and the bricks from it were used to build up the levees in this parish.
