without every having seen an image of this building, i was going to guess ‘vicksburg’ because there is a vaguely gothic revival feeling to the structure–tall windows, abbreviated label –window tops–what is that word? my brain isn’t working cause we are in the midst of a mini-blizzard here right now–but, thankfully, i am inside and not out in it on my bike! the earlier gothic revival(pre-1860) seems to have stuck around in vicksburg longer than some other ms places–until it merged with the later gothic revival of the late 19th/early 20th century the st frances xavier school and complex are part of this—had heard of william stanton before mspres did a nice post on him a whie back–important for that part of ms—

course, the pediment, even though awkwardly proportioned, could be called neo-classical, while the arched window therein is italianate—so, an eclectic mix very typical of the late 19th century!
