Original Town Historic District
This district encompasses the oldest section of Alexandria and runs along the Red River levee. The architectural inventory includes many late-nineteenth-century brick commercial storefronts as well as a few remaining wood-frame residential structures from the same period. Several historic churches are included in the district as well as the landmark Hotel Bentley. A handful of Modern buildings, such as the Rapides Parish Library and City Hall, make up the district’s more recent architectural history.
