Plans for the Teche Theatre were executed by the firm of Favrot & Reed, with Fred Nehrbass, associate architect. W. J. Quick & Hudson East of Lake Charles, La. contracted to build the theater. The St. Mary Iron Works of Franklin furnished the steel necessary in the construction of the building. Built entirely along modernistic designs of its day, the Teche Theatre presented a very attractive picture. The front part of the theater was finished in structural glass in blocks of black, tan and red, which colors blend into perfect harmony with the lighted marquee and entire front. The floor of the front entrance was finished in a very attractive pattern of terrazzo. The seating capacity at the time was eight hundred which included the balcony and orchestra floor.
