Chief Executive Officer L.C, Caldwell
Jr. says the local homestead's rote in the
community today is much the same as it
has always been, "'to provide for home
ownership and savings."
"Our primary object is helping the
single family homeowner," said
Caldwell. who went on to trace some of
the homestead's history.
The homestead's current modern
building at 195 N. Sixth Street was built
in 1967. Prior to that the Homestead,
which found its origin in a walk-up

now the Jackson-Vaughan Insurance
Building in the first block of West Pine.

The association's CEO was asked to
predict the future for the Ponchatoula
area and Caldwell replied:
"I look for a number of commercial
businesses to be located between here
and the interstate now that the road
project is coming to an end.
"But I see this area developing much
more in terms of residential area. The
schools' reputation is a big plus. l
believe we will come into our own as a
residential area.
"We must do all we can to attract
business as well, but I do see a future of
solid growth here in single family
homes," said Caldwell.
The people who make up downtown
Ponchatoula's most-enduring financial
institution and who will lead it through
what appears to be a promising future
