Our History

The Hunter Building, where our venue is located, has a rich history dating back to 1931. Originally home to the Hunter Oil and Investment Company, the building has been beautifully restored to its former glory. Our name, Silver Lake Ballroom, is inspired by the legend of Silver Lake, a vast lake that once covered much of what is now downtown Shreveport.
