Front facade of the Municipal Auditorium — dedicated to the American soldiers who fought in World War I — which was completed in 1929 in Shreveport, Louisiana — located in the state’s far-northwest corner near the Texas and Arkansas lines. The performance venue became known as the “Cradle of the Stars,” including gyrating heartthrob singer Elvis Presley, whose frequent concerts here earned him a statue, left, alongside that of rockabilly guitarist James Burton, outside the building.
