half have remained much the same as when they were built around the turn of the century. Grand Cane is the home of the historic Cook-Hill House Bed and
Breakfast. Buildings listed on the National Register include the following. The W.W. Platt Dental Office was built in 1939. The George N. Parker Company building (1910) was a general merchandise store advertised as "The Shoe and Hat Specialist". The Cook & Douglas Building (1903, owners L.M. Cook & Charles A. Douglas), advertised as a general merchandise and plantation supply store, with "Highest prices paid for Cotton & Cotton Seed"; the adjoining side building served as a storage for the Cook & Douglas Building. The Bank of Grand Cane Building (circa 1902), served as a bank until 1970, when the building was donated to the village. It now is the Grand Cane village hall and is affectionately referred to as "the Village". The first Grand Cane Bank was headed by W.H. Smith. The bank has a very colorful history, and was robbed several times. The building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places on February 11, 1988. The Hicks & Richardson Building, circa 1902, housed an established "General Merchandise and Plantation supplies" store. It featured staples and fancy groceries along with buggies and wagons. The Ricks Brothers Building, circa 1915, later became Gamble Brothers. General merchandise and groceries were sold and delivered to homes. Today, these buildings house shops, restaurants, the village hall, a community theater and a "mall" of diverse businesses.
