It includes an area of three square blocks bounded by Ouachita Avenue, Orange and Olive Streets, and Central Avenue. This area was completely devastated by a fire in 1905, and damaged by another in 1913, and it is after these events that its most significant buildings were built. It contains a variety of commercial buildings (mostly on Ouachita Avenue, multiunit and single-family housing, in a dense pedestrian-friendly urban setting.[2]
