Wormser's Department Store - New Iberia, LA - U.S. National Register of Historic Places on Waymarking.com

Both buildings appeared to be in great condition. Still department stores, appeared to feature mostly clothing. Great styling and the entire New Iberia buisness district was a great place to walk and enjoy.
A brief history on the buildings I found at the State of Louisiana Register website, located here which states:
The architectural development of the property is somewhat complicated. What is now Wormser's Department Store began as three separate party wall brick commercial buildings dating from the late nineteenth or early twentieth centuries. In 1932, Justin Wormser, the present proprietor's grandfather, purchased the two western-most buildings and removed the party wall between them to create a single commercial space for the store he opened in that year. Either at that time, or shortly thereafter, he rebuilt the facade in the Modernistic taste. In 1966, Wormser's Department Store purchased the adjacent (eastern-most) building and joined it with the existing commercial space via a 12-15 foot opening cut in the party wall. Sometime during the 1930s this building had also acquired its own Modernistic facade.
