This has been closed since COVID hit in 2020, but is currently under renovation.
Herman John Duncan Sr. (1891-1056) was the senior architect of the firm of Duncan & Barron, and began practicing architecture in Lafayette around 1912. Later he would form the firm of Herman J. Duncan & Co., succeeded by the firm of Duncan & Duncan with his son Herman John Duncan Jr. I’ve been unable to find out anything about his first partner, Barron, or how long that partnership lasted.
The old Liberty theatre opened on March 15th, 1920 and the new Liberty theatre opened on July 24th, 1924 and closed in January 1982 when the Queen twin cinemas reopened. Grand opening ad posted.
