About this property

Grand Cane Methodist Church is a frame Gothic Revival historic church located at 8446 US 171 in Grand Cane, Louisiana. Built in 1888, the church had a three-story tower with an octagonal spire. The tower was modified in 1959, brought to single story and the spire replaced by a pitched roof. In 1990–91, in an effort to restore the original appearance, the tower was replaced with a copy of the previous one, based on photographs. The church was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1992.
