Well that’s disturbing! What a very weird fact–thanks for pointing it out. I’ll be more careful when I’m around the fairgrounds, that’s for sure!

Oh, and the first link isn’t getting me anywhere.

Extra detail: directly underneath this structure lies the extinct volcano, who’s eruptions are responsible for central MS’s Yazoo Clay

Wow, great find–thanks for sharing! I love that “joyous color” comment. Trust a good architect to be confident in his choices even 20 years later.

I can’t find anything about it, but I swear I read somewhere that Overstreet built the livestock buildings.

A Jackson daily news article of the same date calls it “colored glass fused onto steel.”
