 |
| Even though its address was 819 Canal Street, Holmes had a narrow frontage on the fabled avenue; the bulk of the store filled the rear of the block bounded by Dauphine, Iberville, and Bourbon Streets. |
In 1964, Holmes covered its 1913
facade with a modern facade.
 |
| The new facade incorporated details reminiscent of New Orleans' French Quarter, which adjoined the store at its rear past Iberville Street. |
 |
| In the 1950s, many improvements were made to Holmes' physical plant, including a new men's store entrance on Bourbon Street. |
 |
| The Dauphine Street side of Holmes was in a Neo-Ren- naissance style. |
 |
| The long rear facade of Holmes dates from the early 1900s; a bridge crossed Iberville Street to the 1923 warehouse on the opposite side. |
 |
| Holmes rebuilt the buildings across Iberville Street in 1969, incorporating the warehouse and several historic buildings. The expansion housed a parking garage, retail space for fabrics and young men's clothing, and a new French Quarter Cafeteria. |
