t's home sweet home for District Judge Hugh "Buddy" Larose. The 17th Judicial District judge finally returned to his chambers and courtroom this week, after sharing court with the four other parish judges for more than a year.
"I am absolutely ready to be back in my own courtroom," Larose said. "It's something about being comfortable, being able to move around and have your own space."
Lafourche Parish officials closed the historic courthouse, occupied by Larose, Chief Judge John LeBlanc and Walter Lanier III, in September 2008 shortly after Hurricane Gustav ravaged Thibodaux.
The courthouse was shut down because of a mold-like substance that progressively grew inside of the building. Due to the extremities of the infestation, several walls in the courthouse had to be gutted, causing interior damage. Parish-hired architect Richard Weimer redesigned the interior of the building.
The last time the 140-year-old structure was shut down to this capacity - as best as historians can figure - was in 1903 when the building was remodeled. Engineers and contractors moved the courthouse entrance, which faced Bayou Lafourche, toward Green Street, adding five square-domed roof structures and a portico.
