Lumber & BUILDING MATERIALS

Houma, LA

Houma grew where bayous, roads, and working communities came together. Downtown

developed around the courthouse, churches, shops, and businesses that served families

throughout Terrebonne Parish, while the surrounding area grew through sugar, fishing,

oilfield work, shipbuilding, and generations of small local businesses.

That mix of old and new is still visible across Houma. Historic homes sit near newer

neighborhoods. Family businesses share streets with industrial shops, offices, schools, and

churches. Every kind of property eventually needs something repaired, replaced, expanded, or rebuilt.

Frost Lumber is a direct trip up Highway 24 to Thibodaux, with lumber, roofing, siding,

hardware, paint supplies, windows, doors, and building materials for jobs of every size.

Customers can walk in with a list, a question, or a problem they have not quite figured out

yet and talk to people who know the materials and know South Louisiana.

A Lil’ Lagniappe...

This Works Progress Administration photograph shows Church Street in downtown Houma

during a street-paving project in the 1930s. The completed section ran from Verret Street to

School Street as part of a larger effort to improve roads throughout the city.

The image captures Houma at a point when familiar downtown streets were being reshaped

for a growing community. Utility poles line the road, homes and buildings sit close to the street,

and the fresh pavement marks a shift toward the city Houma was becoming.

Much of downtown Houma’s historic character remains visible today, including buildings and

streets that have continued serving the community through decades of growth, storms, and change.

Houma has never been afraid to rebuild the road while keeping sight of where it came from.
