D. H. Holmes Co. Ltd.

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.
