Story / Description:
Located in the center of Northeast Louisiana’s Historical District, this building was originally one of the area’s first banks and later housed Western Union for 50 years before becoming a popular restaurant. Built in the late 1880s, it features remarkable structural strength, with outer brick walls up to two feet thick and a foundation extending 10 feet underground. Now a unique Special Events Center, it offers nearly 6,000 square feet of space, including a stunning interior with a triple spiral staircase, custom oak bar, and extensive antique details that create a nostalgic atmosphere for events.
