Fred C. McClanahan Builders
If anyone reading this blog knows what happened to this company, please let me know. I'm helping on a project and we need to see if we can track down any records from the company. McClanahan built most of the new commercial construction in Minden during the 1920s and 1930s, particularly in the boom after the L & A Railroad came to Minden. The old First Baptist Church and at least one home that still stands in the Downtown Residential Historic District were McClanahan projects. I know that the family remained in Shreveport and our area and that the son of the owner ran for Congress as a Republican in 1960, but would like to find if any company records still exist.
