Those
who founded the Fairfield Historic District Association work to safeguard and preserve one of Shreveport’s oldest neighborhoods
for one simple reason: an appreciation of the qualities that create a superior example of an early twentieth century
neighborhood.
As Shreveport boomed in the early 1900’s,
so did the Fairfield District, quickly becoming one of Shreveport’s most prosperous suburbs. The professional
and cultural diversity so prominent in Shreveport in those years is clearly visible on the streets of the Fairfield Historic
District today. The blend of architectural styles includes Eclectic Revival, Queen Anne, Victorian, American Four Square
and bungalows. This district offers an aesthetic appeal rarely found in the area.
The Fairfield Historic District’s unique concentration of architectural style resulted in its recognition in the National
Registry of Historical Places. Hollywood has discovered these same qualities and can often be seen filming in the streets
of the area.
Although the Fairfield Historic District lies only two
miles from the bright lights of Shreveport’s riverboat casinos and Shreveport’s thriving Bio-technology
industry lies just to the southwest, the Fairfield District offers a glimpse into Shreveport’s storied past and diverse
present.
