Independence Stadium

Independence Stadium is a stadium owned by the city of Shreveport, Louisiana and is the home of the Independence Bowl. Formerly known as State Fair Stadium, it is the site of the annual Independence Bowl post-season college football game, initially the Bicentennial Bowl. Before that, it was the home venue of the Shreveport Steamer of the short-lived World Football League . It also served as a neutral site for the annual Arkansas–LSU football rivalry from 1925 to 1936. The stadium is also host to numerous high school football games and soccer matches, since many schools in Shreveport lack an on-campus facility. Independence Stadium also hosted the LHSAA state football championship games in 2005 after the Louisiana Superdome suffered heavy damage from Hurricane Katrina. In 1994–95, Independence Stadium was home to the Shreveport Pirates of the Canadian Football League, which was undergoing US expansion at the time. In the late 1990s, the stadium capacity was expanded from approximately 40,000 to 50,832. In 2005, to meet accommodations of the upcoming Independence Bowl in 2006, the stadium went through a renovation to extend the capacity from 52,000 to 59,000. Then in 2008, the City of Shreveport created an entire new section of the stadium. This portion would allow the stadium capacity to be expanded only if need be. This expanse put the total capacity at 63,000. This was part of a grander upgrading plan that improved all aspects of the facility, from concourses to playing surface. Independence Stadium was considered as a possible playing site for the New Orleans Saints during the 2005 National Football League season due to Hurricane Katrina, but Shreveport eventually lost out to the Alamodome in San Antonio, Texas, and Louisiana State Universitys Tiger Stadium in Baton Rouge. However, Independence Stadium eventually was chosen to host the Saints first preseason home game for the 2006 season while the Louisiana Superdome prepared for its grand re-opening. Field Turf was installed on the stadiums playing surface in 2010. In 2010, a Texas UIL playoff game was played featuring Mesquite Horn HS and the technical host Longview. Longview won, 28–14. The first time Texas teams met in Louisiana for a playoff game was in 2006 when a Texarkana Texas High team topped Dallas Highland Park with quarterback Ryan Mallett. That game also was hosted at Independence Stadium. In 2011, Independence Stadium hosted the inaugural year of the annual Port City Classic, an NCAA college football competition between Louisiana Tech University of Ruston, Louisiana, and Grambling State University of Grambling, LA. The south end zone of the stadium borders Interstate 20.

The grand opening ceremony was held on Monday, November 12, 1917, amid great fanfare and local interest. As part of the dedication ceremonies, the masons and their wives were treated to two organ recitals, one at 3:30 PM and the other at 8:00 PM. The guest organist was John Allen Richardson, organist and choirmaster of the St. Paul’s Episcopal Church of Chicago, Illinois. Following the second recital, a dance was held with music provided by the Shriner’s El Karubah Band and Orchestra. Edward F. Neild, a member of the Shreveport Scottish Rite, was the architect of the Scottish Rite Cathedral. Among Mr. Neild’s many other notable achievements were his architectural contributions to the renovation of our nation’s capital in Washington D.C, the White House, and the Truman Memorial Library and Museum in Independence, Missouri. In addition, he is credited with the design of the Shriner’s Hospital for Crippled Children, also in Shreveport and the first of its kind in North America. The Shreveport Scottish Rite Cathedral is one of the most historic and beautiful buildings in the Shreveport area. It includes a three level auditorium with a seating capacity of five hundred, a wardrobe room, a marble lobby, a pair of matching marble staircases, a kitchen, a banquet hall, a masonic library, numerous offices, a DeMolay room, a basement, and a section where children receive help through a Speech and Language Clinic Charity.

St. Mark's Episcopal Church

St. Mark's Episcopal Church, now known as the Church of the Holy Cross, is a historic church at 875 Cotton Street in Shreveport, Louisiana, United States.

Antioch Baptist Church

Antioch Baptist Church is a historic church located in Shreveport, Louisiana. On April 23, 1866 two leaders of the First Baptist Church honorably dismissed 73 black members of its church so they could begin construction of a new black, Baptist church. This church came to be known as the First Colored Baptist Church of Shreveport. The original building was dedicated on August 18, 1871. In the late 1800s, the church bought land on Texas Avenue and began construction of a new church. As the church was being built, a storm destroyed the entire structure. The leaders of the First Colored Baptist Church decided to rebuild the structure at a cost of $3,198.45. This new church, designed by Nathaniel Sykes Allen, was dedicated at 1057 Texas Avenue in 1903. Soon after its dedication, the church was renamed Union Missionary Baptist Church. Finally, the church was renamed once more, to Antioch Baptist Church. The structure is built of red brick and white trim. The church became a member of the National Baptist Convention, USA, Inc. in 1906. The church has been renovated two times since its original dedication, in 1943 and 1958 respectively. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1982.

B'Nai Zion Temple

B'Nai Zion Temple is a historic Jewish temple located in downtown Shreveport, Louisiana. It was constructed in 1914 and dedicated in 1915. The Jewish community of Shreveport started off small in the late 1840s. By 1857 a small congregation of Jews had been created. They met in one of the congregant's homes under the leadership of Rabbi Julius Lewin. In 1861 the congregation adopted the name Har-el and started attending services in the home of a local Jewish businessman. At that time, most members of the congregation identified with the Reform tradition of Judaism. Once the Civil War was over, the group became known as Hebrew Zion. In 1869 the congregation constructed its first building of worship on Fannin Street. In 1875 a disagreement about the religious traditions of Judaism triggered a split in the congregation. A new Orthodox congregation was formed but the split was short lived. In 1877, the two groups reconciled and agreed to become identified with the Reform tradition of Judaism. By 1910 the Fannin Street building was above capacity, with over 150 members belonging to the Hebrew Zion congregation. By 1910, plans to construct a new temple were being devised. In 1915, the Beaux-Arts building was dedicated and the congregation was renamed B'Nai Zion. The building was seen as "an architectural gem and an ornament to the city." Shortly after the end of World War II, the temple had over 300 members. In 1955 the congregation had relocated to a new building on Southfield Road. By 1962, membership was above 400 people. After the relocation, the building was sold to the Knights of Columbus. In 1993 the building was bought by a private historical group who planned to preserve the building for its beautiful architecture. The historic structure is now vacant. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1994.

Strand Theatre

The Strand Theatre in Shreveport, Louisiana, USA, opened in 1925 as a Vaudeville venue and was nicknamed "The greatest theatre of the South" and the "Million Dollar Theatre" by its builders, Julian and Abraham Saenger of Shreveport, owners of the Saenger Amusements Company, which operated theaters throughout the American South and in Central America. By the 1940s it had evolved into a movie cinema, which it remained until its closure in 1977. Threatened with demolition, it was saved by a coalition of concerned citizens who restored it to its original grandeur over a nearly seven-year period. It is the "Official State Theatre of Louisiana". Since its re-opening in 1984 following restoration it has served as a performing arts venue, featuring the Shreveport Broadway Series and other traveling Off-Broadway shows. Emile Weil and Charles G.
