Muller's Department Store was a major department store, and it is the name of a three-story brick building located in downtown Lake Charles, Louisiana. The building was built in 1913 and opened as a 45,000 square feet (4,200 m2) store. It was expanded to the rear in 1949, adding about a third. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. Its boundaries were also increased in the same year.
At the time of its NRHP application, plans were underway for it to be renovated into apartments. The developer sought tax credits that would be tied to NRHP listing.
Today it serves as an apartment complex in the heart of downtown.
