Shreveport Central Station is a historic train station in Shreveport, Louisiana. It was built in 1910 by the Louisiana and Arkansas Railroad, a railroad that was eventually acquired by the Kansas City Southern Railway. (However, the KCS used Union Station ever since 1909.) By the opening of the 1940s the L&A and the St. Louis Southwestern Railway or 'Cotton Belt' moved its passenger operations from Central Station to Shreveport Union Station.[1] [2]
The building, along with an adjoining small freight depot shortly north of it, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1991 as the Central Railroad Station.[3] The building also became a contributing property of Shreveport Commercial Historic District when its boundaries were increased on .[4]
The former station currently survives as a gay bar and dance club.[5] [6]
