| A three-story double-lot-width stuccoed brick commercial building with complex fenestration consisting of arcaded High Victorian Italianate windows on the uppermost story and the raised center section, a pair of large rectangular windows in the center of the third story, six large paired rectangular windows on the second story, and a central opening on the first story surmounted by a Romanesque arch and flanked by pilastered storefronts. From 1934 to 1966 the Strand Theater operated in the eastern half of the lower stories of this building. From the early 1990s until the spring of 2003 the film “The Vanishing Glory” about Vicksburg in the Civil War, was shown there. The theater reopened as a commercial theater in April 2004. This building was individually listed on the National Register on 12 November 1992 from a nomination prepared by Nancy Bell, Executive Director of the Vicksburg Foundation for Historic Preservation. It was later included as element #13 in the Uptown Vicksburg Historic District, which was added to the National Register on 19 August 1993, and it was more recently included as element #17 in the Uptown Vicksburg Amendment and Boundary Increase No. 2, which was added to the National Register on 4 February 2020. |
