Context/Comments
The Cochran Hotel (later the Pinnix Hotel) is an example of the railroad-oriented hotels that were located in communities throughout Mississippi in the last decades of the nineteenth century and the early decades of the twentieth century. When it was built about 1908, it stood across the street from the Illinois Central railroad depot (no longer extant). The hotel and the depot are shown on the 1909 Sanborn map of Ackerman. It building replaced an earlier wooden hotel on the same site that is shown on the 1904 Sanborn map. (RJC,2022)
