The IOOF hall, probably upstairs. http://www.flickr.com/photos/courthouselover/3209049488/sizes/l/in/photostream/ small url<http://www.flickr.com/photos/courthouselover/3209049488/sizes/l/in/photostream/> I remember the Kaiser Car. When I was about five or six, my Dad, fresh out of the Army Air Force was a mechanic at a Kaiser-Frazer dealership in Shreveport. The model I remember the most was the Henry J. Compact compared to others, I suppose it was about the size as a Studebaker. They came in other colors, but blue was what I remember. http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1950-1959/1951-Kaiser-Henry-J.jpg small url<http://www.seriouswheels.com/pics-1950-1959/1951-Kaiser-Henry-J.jpg> I recall a re badged version sold at Sears. http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/data/jaynjay/200811189275_53_Allstate_Coupe_DV-06_ARM_02.jpg small url<http://www.railroad-line.com/forum/data/jaynjay/200811189275_53_Allstate_Coupe_DV-06_ARM_02.jpg> Kaiser was the principle in Kaiser Aluminum, and also built Liberty ships in WWII.
