This Tiny Bank in Slaughter, LA Has Real Outlaw Lore
Yes, it's really called the town of Slaughter. And yes, this tiny former bank there is rumored to have been hit by Bonnie and Clyde. Reddit is equal parts charmed and confused by the floor plan.
A Bank With a Bonnie and Clyde Legend Attached
This 2-bedroom, 1-bath, 1,000-square-foot building is listed on the National Register of Historic Places and still bears its bronze historical plaque, original "B-A-N-K" signage over the door, and a large safe in the back. Local lore holds that Bonnie and Clyde robbed it on September 22, 1932 — a claim backed by a local physician and four eyewitnesses at the time, though it's still debated among Louisiana history buffs today. The bank closed for good just eight months later, amid the Banking Panic of the Great Depression.
A Floor Plan That's Dividing the Internet
Reddit had plenty of opinions on the conversion itself — commenters weren't shy about calling the long, narrow layout impractical, with one noting the kitchen is really more of a kitchenette. History buffs, on the other hand, are just glad the vault and signage survived the years intact.
The Internet Has Thoughts
