We got ourselves a competition going!
Current Standings:
- Carunzel: 4
- tsj1957: 4
- doakley: 2

Hint: This building is in the Delta.
Note: I’m going to have only intermittent access to the internet today and tomorrow (yeah, weird, huh?). So don’t be alarmed if I’m mysteriously quiet for a while–just talk amongst yourselves and I’ll be around presently to hand out points.

Preservation in Mississippi 
Clarksdale Civic Auditorium–built as a WPA project in 1939 and designed by none other than Jackson architect E.L. Malvaney.
Yes cut and past, but why recreate when the best has already written it so well.

Alright, ya’ll, tsj pulls ahead again! Tomorrow’s the key, and it will not be a building I have discussed on the blog or on Flickr. May the best man/person/preservationist win!

What is she supposed to be holding? It looks like a deco skyscraper.

It does indeed appear to be a Deco skyscraper. See the detail image at http://www.flickr.com/photos/26519181@N06/3501517096/
As for why she is holding a skyscraper, perhaps not even the real Malvaney would be able to say for sure :-)
