Ferriday Commercial Historic District

The 'Ferriday Commercial Historic District in Ferriday, Louisiana is the historic portion of what was the only surviving commercial center in large but rural Concordia Parish. It was listed as a historic district on the National Register of Historic Places in 1995. The district included 21 buildings, all older than 50 years, as contributing buildings.

The buildings are one- and two-story masonry commercial buildings, within a two block area, and were built between c.1905 and c.1940.

One contributing building is the U.S. Post Office (1939), a one-story brick French Classical Revival building. It has false chimneys and arched windows. Its interior has Works Project Administration murals.

Three of the contributing buildings, the one at 909 South 2nd Street and two adjoining commercial buildings along South 1st Street, are no more existing and disappeared at some time after the district was created.
