The Homer Historic District, a 13 acres (5.3 ha) historic district in Homer in Claiborne Parish, Louisiana, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1986.[1]

The district includes 56 buildings, mainly commercial buildings, of which 39 are contributing buildings, set around a courthouse square and along an adjacent railroad corridor. The contributing properties date from c.1890 to 1936, except for the 1860 Claiborne Parish Courthouse.[2][3]

All of the buildings located south of South 3rd Street, except Automobile Dealership which is still standing, seem to have disappeared at some time before 2012.[a]
