I love those Gothic windows on the first floor, giving away the religious origins. Very cool.

Volume 60 of “The Southern Reporter” describes a 1912 dispute over the lease agreement between the Thomas Hinds Lodge #58 and the Presbyterian Church of Fayette – resulting in the Church moving out of the lower floor of the building.

I was online (working!) at 3 when the picture was posted. I could figure out it was a masonic something…due to the symbol on the door. Not being from MS, that was it for me.
Imagine my surprise when I checked later tonight to discover it was Lafayette!…which I accidentally stumbled upon a year ago when I made a wrong turn out of Natchez. After we drove out of town–thanks to a local who helped us get back to the highway–I remarked to my friend “I should have been taking pictures of all these neat buildings.”

Let this be a lesson to you to always stop and take pictures!

Yay, points all around, although *mysteriously* there’s still a little recent tidbit of information out there if someone else wants to earn a point.

I believe the building was recently acquired by the City of Fayette.

I should know this, but I can’t recall. Is is about to be a MS Landmark? I know there’s been talk about demolishing it, but think I heard that there was something in place (or going in place) to protect it more than it is.

Haven’t heard anything about making it a Landmark.

It didn’t really sound right to me either, but it was the best guess I could attempt to make today.

Well, nice try, maybe you’ll catch the next one. Or maybe I’ll stump everyone like I always try to.
