历史沿革
The William Strickland-designed building opened in 1838. Coinage continued under changing authorities in 1861 before the Civil War halted operations. Federal production resumed in 1879 and continued through 1909. The building later served other federal uses and today houses the New Orleans Jazz Museum.
