General information

The Palace was originally built in 1924 and operated as a department store for more than 50 years. It was a significant part of life in downtown Monroe, bringing people from all over Northeast Louisiana to shop its 6 floors for everything from men and women's apparel to wedding gifts; shoes and jewelry to housewares.

In September of 2009, The Portico Church bought the historic Palace with plans for the building to serve as a resource to the community and bring life back to downtown Monroe. We desire to join with the others already working to revitalize the area, including the arts community, local businesses, and those living downtown.

The Palace is host to a variety of community events, including art shows, family-friendly events, concerts, and more. It also serves as home to The Portico Church's weekly gatherings and other events. The Palace is currently host to Downtown Cinema and is a member of the Downtown Art Alliance, showing exhibits during the Downtown Art Crawls. The Simple Project, a non-profit organization serving the homeless, also currently meets in The Palace Park.
