The Homer Historic District, a 13 acres (5.3 ha) historic district in Homer in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.

The district includes 56 buildings, mainly commercial buildings, of which 39 are contributing buildings, set around a courthouse square and along an adjacent railroad corridor. The contributing properties date from c.1890 to 1936, except for the 1860 Claiborne Parish Courthouse.

All of the buildings located south of South 3rd Street, except Automobile Dealership which is still standing, seem to have disappeared at some time before 2012.

Notes

  1. Checking satellite imagery and street views of the area it seems that Gas Station #1 was still standing in February 2012 and was no more in existence in October of the same year. All other buildings were removed earlier.
