Wikipedia describes the Grand as a two story Classical Revival structure with a large auditorium and a second story gallery over the lobby. At the time it was submitted for, and accepted to, the National Register of Historic Buildings in 1986 it was already vacant.
It was demolished in June 1995 and the site became a parking lot.
The 23 foot vertical was salvaged and, together with a replica of the marquee, is on display in the Laurel Valley Village Museum.
I have uploaded a photo of the vertical just removed from the building. Note the pavement which has “Grand Theatre” in mosaic. I wonder if that was retained when the site became a parking lot.
An item dateline Thibodaux in the July 3, 1922 issue of The Film Daily said that “[t]he Grand, costing $30,000, has been opened. It seats 750 and is under the management of Charles Delas.”
