I’ve driven through Grand Cane, Louisiana, more times than I can count. Ever since my first time through, I knew there was a small ‘main street’ area with several older brick buildings and storefronts, but I never really took the time to look at them in depth.
Plus, in those days, I wasn’t too much into photography with a real camera. As with other things, once I started looking for interesting scenes and compositions to make pictures of, I took more time to slow down and really inspect them from a photography standpoint.
Such is the case with the Bank of Grand Cane.
I couldn’t find much information about it online, but it is listed in the National Register of Historic Places.
I am sharing some highlights of information about the Bank of Grand Cane, as recorded in this document.
- It is a single-story brick party-wall commercial building with Romanesque Revival features
- Has had only minor alterations to the interior since its construction (I presume in 1904).
- A landmark commercial building in DeSoto Parish
- Remained a bank until 1980
