Back Before there was Clyde Fant Parkway or the Louisiana Boardwalk, there were shanty houses all along the Red River on both sides, Here are some photos we came across while researching that area at the Northwest Louisiana Archives at LSUS. Life was hard on the river and these photos show the conditions these folks lived in. Thanks to photographers like Jack Barham we can look back and see exactly what that area looked like before it was developed into what you see today. Mayor Fant was very in

Shreveport History Saved! We love uncovering Shreveport history and this story was right up our alley!!! Shelby Methvien contacted us the other day and asked us if we knew where a Fulton Market used to be on Texas Street. We said Yes!!! We know exactly where it once sat!!! It just so happens it sat beside the old Dripp Donut building that was just demolished. As a matter of fact, you can see it clearly in the photos we shared of the Dripp building from the 1920s! At one time it was also located

In 1919 Shreveport saw the construction of the Victory Natatorium. It was the largest salt water pool around and people from all over came to swim here. It was dedicated to the end of the Great War, hence the name Victory. Located where McNeil St. meets Fourth St. behind Hamilton Terrace School, the only thing that remains is it's "footprint". We thought we would make this video to show those that have never heard of it just what it was like. We unearthed several never before seen photos of the

Diving into the history of Shreveport, Louisiana, one cannot overlook the iconic Hamels Amusement Park. A place of joy, laughter, and unforgettable memories, Hamels was more than just an amusement park; it was a symbol of community spirit and a testament to the city's vibrant culture. The park was initially a small-scale venture with a merry-go-round and a few other rides. However, it quickly grew in popularity, becoming a beloved destination for families and thrill-seekers alike.

Back in the day when steamboats traveled up and down the Red River, they would dock along Commerce Street in Downtown Shreveport. They docked there because the river came all the way up to Commerce Street back then. The area that is now Clyde Fant Parkway was part of the river. The train bridge swivel was once in the middle of the river, but now on dry land due to the shifting of the river. Imagine if you will, steamboats docked exactly where Sci-Port Discovery Center is now! As a matter of fact

People ask us all of the time if there really were houses in downtown Shreveport back in the day! Well, the answer is YES, tons of them! We would like to focus on one of our favorite houses! The Hicks Mansion, residence of F. M. Hicks and later S. B. Hicks III and his family, stood at 416 Travis next to the Beck building. A Greek Revival mansion, built originally by the Howell family in the 1890s, was a downtown Shreveport landmark until its demolition in 1958. The Mid-South Tower now sits at th

Shreveport History Saved! 35 plus years ago, Edward Chopin was helping a friend move when he noticed a scrapbook laying on the side of the road to be thrown away. He picked it up and flipped through the first few pages. To his shock, he saw page after page of 8x10 high definition photos of Shreveport from 1918! Most of the photos were interior shots giving us a look back at the working conditions our ancestors experienced back then! These 200 plus photos would have been lost to history had Ed no

Lost Shreveport Louisiana Bank and Trust Building This is one of our favorite old buildings from the past. It sat at the corner of Market and Milam Street from 1913 (according to the late Eric Brock) to 1984 when it was demolished. According to Shreveport Journal writer Katheryn Flournoy “when the dust cleared there was 22.5 MILLION TONS of concrete, mortar and building materials left behind”!! Imagine all of the history that went up in that cloud of dust that day. During our research at the Nor

There is an especially long music history and the story is still being written as @50cent is buying up property downtown and opening a new production studio!

Birds Eye View of downtown Shreveport in 1911! Mark and I were given permission to go to the top of the Hutchinson building (504 Texas) in downtown Shreveport a few years ago to take pictures from the exact spot where Bill Grabill stood when he took pictures in 1911. We wanted to re-create those images to see how things have changed. It was an awesome experience! This Hutchinson building was built in 1911 and is located directly across the street from the courthouse. We hope you enjoy this Then

Shreveport Journal Building Then and Now! Founded by J. E.

According to the late Eric Brock, Goodwin was the grandfather of the late Mayor of Shreveport Calhoun Allen! Many of us remember reading the Shreveport Journal growing up and when the final edition rolled off the presses on March 30, 1991, the Journal said goodbye to not only th
