Bloom's Arcade, now Blooms Apartments, is a Moderne-style shopping arcade built in 1930 in Tallulah, Louisiana. It has 12 interior shop bays with brick pilasters, a continuous glass skylight, checkerboard terrazzo floors, and ceilings with pressed metal panels. Architect Noah Webster Overstreet of Jackson, Mississippi, designed it, and contractor Tom Wilmoth of Camden, Arkansas, built it. The building reflects a European influence and is a notable Louisiana example of a European arcade. It was added to the National Register of Historic Places on January 19, 1989. In 2013, Brownstone Group fully restored the structure, and it now serves as an apartment complex.
