Designed in 1873 to honor the Marquis de Lafayette, who aided the Americans during the Revolutionary War. In the center sits a fountain dedicated by the Colonial Dames of America.
In 1846, the City jail was located here. Now, it is famous for the Andrew Low House which was built in 1849 on the West side of the square. See the Cathedral of St. John the Baptist too, breathtaking! Read more
