A showcase of not only jewelry but also significant architectural style, the C. A. Schnack Jewlery Company building remains today on Third Street. Schnacks was founded in 1865. The building on Third Street was built in 1931, and was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on June 30, 2000. It features a combination of Classical Revival, Italian Renaissance, and Art Deco design. The stylish interior and bright showcases brought amazement to the young couple buying wedding rings there in 1969!

Since this photo was taken in the year 2000, the building has been occupied and renovated as the Diamond Grill, and is the recipient of the 2006 Louisiana Preservation Honor Award. It was also featured along with the Hotel Bentley in the SyFy Channel's Ghost Hunters series in February 2011.

Schnack's Fine Jewelry remains in business today at their location at 1438 Dorchester Drive. For more information, visit www.schnacks.com..
