The Coushatta Bank Building, at 103 Carroll Street in Coushatta, Louisiana, was built in about 1890. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1983.[1]

It is a two-story brick false front commercial building. Its facade is topped by a brick-paneled frieze itself topped by a pressed metal entablature and a cornice. It has segmentally arched windows and decorative cast-iron pillars. The building has a brick vault towards the back.[2]

Out of about 40 historic commercial structures in Coushatta, it is the only one with detailing meriting calling it "Victorian" in style.[2]
