1920s BUNKIE
Bunkie’s Main Street was thriving in the 1920’s. The Palace Hotel, the light-colored building in the center of the photo, is the building recently donated to the City of Bunkie for downtown civic improvements. It has also housed several businesses over the year but is currently vacant. {Photo courtesy of Tommy McNabb}
