Bank of Louisiana, Historic bank building in Louisiana, United States.

The Bank of Louisiana at 334 Royal Street is a two-story brick masonry building finished in smooth, painted cement stucco. Full-height engaged Doric columns with capitals carry a classic cornice, once topped by a balustrade above the hipped roof, and the interior has Ionic pilasters. A fine iron fence and gates enclose the property.

The Bank of Louisiana was designed by the firm Bickle, Hamlet & Fox and completed in 1826 at 334 Royal Street. After a fire, architect James Gallier oversaw repairs in 1863. The building was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.

The building's 1826 facade, with full-height Doric columns and a classical cornice, was meant to project the authority of a state-chartered bank on Royal Street. Since 2011 it has housed a police sub-station with a tourist information desk, so the former banking hall now serves visitors to the French Quarter.

The building is viewable from the exterior to observe its architectural features and design. You can find detailed information through the National Register Database, which provides maps and historical documentation for research.

The building's exterior is smooth cement stucco over brick, not stone, and its full-height engaged Doric columns once carried a balustrade above the cornice. In 2011 the former bank housed a police sub-station with a tourist information desk.
