Red Cross installing free smoke alarms in Lake Charles
(Metro Creative Services)
Special to the American Press
Home fires remain the nation's most frequent disaster, and the American Red Cross of Louisiana is working to prevent them one home at a time.
On Saturday, May 17, Red Cross volunteers — alongside partner Women Ignited — will be going door-to-door in Lake Charles to install free smoke alarms and help families create escape plans during their Sound the Alarm campaign. It's a part of a larger effort to reduce home fire deaths across Louisiana.
The volunteers will be in the University Park area, 1001 Central Parkway, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

The Informer: Courthouse dome eludes exact engineering details
The octagon-shaped dome atop the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse — pictured on June 12, 1977 — is 32-feet wide and about 25-feet tall. The top of the flag pole pedestal adds another seven feet. (American Press Archives) For years, the assumption in Lake Charles was that the green dome atop the Calcasieu Parish Courthouse was solid — and tarnished — copper. Turns out, it's not. The question of how a solid copper dome that is 32-feet wide could have been lifted onto a three-story building in 1911 led to a startling discovery in 1977. Wesley Guidry, a draftsman with the parish's engineering office, found old photostatic copies of the courthouse's original blue prints 48 years ago and found drawings of steel beams in a hollow dome. 'The blueprint showed that the inside of the dome was made of an arched ribbed construction and steel braces were angled under the roof to give support to the dome,' Guidry told the American Press for its June 12, 1977, issue. Guidry took it upon himself to climb inside the dome to see firsthand if the steel braces were solid copper. To his surprise, he found tin. Guidry said the arched construction and metal underneath the copper roof gives both shape and support to the dome. He also said the shape of the dome is deceiving to those looking at it from ground level. It's not round, it's octagon-shaped. Guidry told the American Press the only recorded data on the historic landmark are the blueprints, he said. The dome was built by piece work. Thin sheets of copper, varying in size, were pieced together side by side without any overlap, he said. 'Inside the dome, there are cat walks that the men stood on when they were laying the copper sheets on top of the tin framework,' Guidry told the American Press. He told the newspaper he believes the seams of the copper sheets were soldered together. Guidry said its about 25 feet from the roof of the courthouse to the top of the round part of the dome. An additional seven feet is added by the flag pole pedestal. The shiny copper dome that was put in place in 1911 eventually tarnished over the years and turned pale green. Salt in the air oxidized the copper and turned it into sodium sulfate. Calcasieu Parish Administrator-Engineer Rodney Vincent told the American Press in 1977 that to clean the dome and restore its natural shine would cost a 'tremendous amount of money.' Vincent said at one time the Police Jury 'fancied' the idea of shining up the copper dome. 'But the estimates received were more than the Police Jury could afford.' The courthouse is a replica of the Villa Cora in Vicenza, Italy known as the Rotunda and was added to the Federal Register of Historic Buildings in 1989. The east front has a large Roman Doric portico with four high columns rising to a pediment at the roof line. There are north and south wings. A white colored balustrade runs along the edge of the flat roof.

The Informer: Imperial Calcasieu Museum reflective of local history
The Imperial Calcasieu Museum is itself reflective of local history. The bricks were salvaged from the old Missouri Pacific Railroad station. The white columns are from the once-proud Majestic Hotel — a Lake Charles landmark that was demolished in the late 1960s — and the beams and balustrades are from old homes of the area. The 4,000-square-foot building, constructed at a cost of $100,000, sits on about an acre of land at the corner of Sallier and Ethel streets. 'The queen of the grounds is the historic Sallier Oak with its wide-spreading branches,' according to a May 31, 1981, edition of the American Press celebrating the 18th anniversary of the museum. Thought to be planted by Charles Sallier when he came to Lake Charles in 1783, 'records show that the land where the oak and the museum are situated was presented in 1860 by Catherine LeBleu Sallier.' The tree is registered as a member of the Live Oak Society of the Louisiana Garden Club Federation. A historical marker was placed near the tree by the Daughters of the American Revolution. In March of 1963, the Junior League of Lake Charles established the Imperial Calcasieu Historical Museum, later to become the Imperial Calcasieu Museum. 'The museum was first located in City Hall, then some months later, in December of that same year, the museum was moved to the historic little brick building at 1019 Lakeshore Drive through the cooperation of the Calcasieu Parish Police Jury,' the newspaper reports. The latter location now serves as the Junior League headquarters. The third — and current — location of the museum is at 204 W. Sallier St. Both the land and the Louisiana Colonial brick building were gifts from Mr. and Mrs. Frank Gibson and Dr. and Mrs. Garnett Barham. Imperial Calcasieu originally compromised what is now Allen, Beauregard, Calcasieu, Cameron and Jeff Davis parishes. 'Relics to be found in the museum date back as far as the time of the Indians — remains of Indian pottery found in the lake and arrowheads found in the area,' the 1981 edition reported. 'Cannon balls believed to be from one of Jean Lafitte's ships are also among artifacts. These were discovered when Contraband Bayou was dredged some years ago, a museum spokesman said,' the newspaper reported. Other items include historic photographs of early Lake Charles; the steering wheel of the Borealis Rex, a paddle boat that used to ply local waters; old shaving mugs once in used in the community; and replicas of all 10 flags that have flown over Louisiana. Also in the collection is the uniform worn by the late Gen. Claire Chennault of Flying Tigers fame and the wedding gown of his wife, Anna Chennault. The museum also boasts a permanent art collection including works of John James Audubon, Boyd Cruise, Angela Gregory and Lynda Benglis. The museum is open 12 months of the year and offers a minimum of 36 weeks of cultural-visual arts programming. The museum is open 10 a.m.-2 p.m. Tuesdays and Saturdays and 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Wednesday through Friday. Admission is free.
