The D.A. Varnado and Son Store in Franklinton, Louisiana is an Italianate-style building constructed in c.1900. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in July 2001.[1]

It was deemed to be "locally significant in the area of architecture because it is a rare and well preserved historic commercial building with period shopfront and interior."[2]

It is a two-story brick commercial building. It originally had a second-story gallery wrapping around three sides of the building; this was removed in a 1925 renovation and replaced by a metal awning.[2]
