- The Genius Brothers Building, in Kinder, Louisiana, was built in 1916 and was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1990. It is located at the corner of 8th St. and 4th Ave. in Kinder. Architecture: Vernacular Commercial It "is a single story brick commercial vernacular structure located on Eighth Street in the small town of Kinder. Therehave been some alterations over the years, but the building's architecturalidentity survives well intact. / Laid up in common bond brick, the building features two shopfronts, one ofwhich has a corner entrance. Originally, it contained two separate stores. The original metal fixed awning is surmounted by a transom level (windows covered over) and a paneled parapet. The parapet top culminates in a central pedimentshape and is surmounted by three concrete pineapple finials. The shopfrontsretain their original shape and configuration, although the glass and kickplatesare replacements. An interesting feature of the shopfront level is that thepiers are coated with concrete which is lightly scored to resemble cut stone.The rear and north side of the building feature segmentally arched openings, mostof which have been bricked in, although the outlines are clearly visible. Thesouth side of the building is a party wall which formerly divided it from anadjacent commercial building. This adjacent building was recently demolished.To prevent moisture penetration at the top of the former party wall, the presentowner applied a strip of standing seam metal sheathing (about 3 feet in height).The interior is modern looking, with plywood paneling and a loweredacoustical tile ceiling. The original pressed metal ceiling is still in placeabove the acoustical tiles. In addition, the old beaded board walls appear to bestill intact beneath the plywood paneling. The only other noteworthy interioralteration has been the removal of the brick wall which previously divided thetwo shops." (en)
