Comments:
The Indianola Historic District, with 335 contributing resources, visually illustrates the growth and development of the Sunflower County seat. Resources range from simple shotgun houses south of the railroad to the Percy Street houses of the affluent business owners. The district recognizes the racial diversity of the community by the inclusion of resources such as Club Ebony and Mt. Beulah Missionary Baptist Church. Indianola’s growth as an economic center is reflected in the businesses along Front Street. Nancy Bell, Director of the Vicksburg Foundation for Historic Preservation, wrote the nomination.
