Ironwork
Among my finds on my jaunt around the Square Sunday afternoon: I know I have seen this cover before, but I cannot seem to find where. My guesses in this order are Preservation in Mississippi, Urban Decay, or Marty Kittrell. … Continue reading

Quitman County School Bus Shop: Formerly known as car dealership
I have driven past this building for at least 8 years. I cannot recall the first time I actually noticed it, as in “Wow! Look at that building.” I know that I did not recognize it as an Art Moderne … Continue reading

Bank on Delta Avenue
I am getting more adept at using the MDAH database at last, which may save a lot of time! This is the old Bank of Clarksdale, estimated date 1901, Neoclassical design. That would make it the older of the other … Continue reading

Another unidentified building: stairway to where?
This building is next door to the Jefferson County courthouse in Fayette. I have tried to imagine its uses, as diligent searches have turned up nothing about an unnamed building on Main Street. Doctor’s office? Insurance business? There are portions … Continue reading
