An Architectural Survey of Ten Properties in the Area of Rolling Fork Mississippi

1.0 Purpose. This survey is the result of a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) Between the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the Mississippi State Historic Preservation Office regarding the demolition of the Graft Dairy Barn in Rolling Fork, Mississippi. The historic barn and local landmark was located along Highway 61 on the south side of Rolling Fork and was to be the site of a proposed Multi-Agency Interpretive and Education Center. The National Register eligible barn was constructed in the early twentieth century and was severely damaged in a May 2011 windstorm, resulting in a complete structural collapse. The debris constituted a public safety hazard and was removed in late May of 2012. Stipulation I of the agreement commits the corps to a historic structures survey of previously unrecorded structures in the Rolling Fork area.

2.0 Previous Studies. A cultural resource survey was conducted by the Vicksburg Foundation for Historic Preservation in May 2011. The survey encompassed 15 structures built from 1890-1940 along China Street in Rolling Fork, which is the constitutes a large majority of the commercial historic age resources in downtown Rolling Fork. This is the only known cultural resource survey in Rolling Fork.

3.0 Survey Methodology. The methodology of this survey was to canvas Rolling Fork and its environs and survey a sampling of a wide variety of resources to illustrate the diversity of cultural resources in the greater Rolling Fork area. Joseph Scott Murphey, a historical architect with the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, visited Rolling Fork September 10-11, 2012. Approximately 35 resources were photographed and 10 were selected as representational of a wide variety of resources dating from the antebellum period until the mid twentieth. The China Street business district was not included due to its previous inventory in 2011. Photographs and basic information on the remaining 25 resources are included as an appendix. The first day of the site visit consisted a canvassing of Rolling Fork by driving all streets of the city and its environs to assess the variety of extant resources. The second day of the visit entailed meeting with Meg Cooper of the Lower Mississippi Delta Partnership and longtime area resident, to tour the city and gain background information on the area. All information and photography was performed from the street and no properties were entered, with the exception of the antebellum Georgiana plantation.

4.0 Historical Background.

Rolling Fork Mississippi is the county seat of Sharkey County Mississippi, a town of 2,500 inhabitants (one half of the county’s total population) in the bottomlands of southern part of the Mississippi Delta. The town is a result of its strategic location at a junction formed by the Deer Creek and Rolling Fork Creek along U.S. Highway 61. To the north on US 61 lies Anguilla (population 907) and to the south, Cary (population 907).

Page 3: Architectural Survey of Rolling Fork, MS

The city of Rolling Fork encompasses approximately 900 acres or 1.4 square miles (Figure 1.). Highway 61 runs from the southwest to the northeast just east of the town square centered on the Sharkey County Courthouse. The heart of the city is the town square. The town square is located on the northeast corner of the confluence of Deer Creek and Rolling Fork Creek and is bounded by Walnut Street (Highway 16) to the north, China Street to the south, Locust Street to the west and Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Street to the east (Figure 2.). Highway 16 bisects US 61 and continues east along Rolling Fork Creek. Race Street (Highway 14) leads out of town to the west. The junction of the two waterways divides the town spatially and has influenced its development, with residential areas developing to the west and south of the waterways and industrial development to the northeast of the central business district.

Rolling Fork was founded as a plantation in 1826 by Thomas Chaney on a surveying trip where he noted that Deer Creek divided at a right angle and flowed swiftly eastward for five miles to empty into the Sunflower River. The swiftness of the current prompted Chaney to call it Rolling Fork.

Historically prone to flooding, Rolling Fork was close to multiple waterways. By the 1870s, the population was 400. Although flooding was a problem at times, it also made the land extremely fertile for the growth of cotton as well as for corn, alfalfa, and later, soy beans. Growth and profits from agriculture led to commercial trade, especially with the coming of the railroad. In 1883, the Louisville, New Orleans and Texas Railroad was built through the county the same year the town was incorporated. The rail line that runs through the heart of town was abandoned and the tracks removed. Today, only the elevated base of the rail line remains visible.

In 1902, President Roosevelt was the guest of Holt Collier, the owner of Smedes Plantation (located south of Rolling Fork) and a famous Bear Hunter. During the hunt, Collier’s favorite dog was attacked by a cornered a 250 pound black bear. Collier leaped from his horse and hit the bear with the stock of his gun before throwing a rope around the stunned and only partially conscious bear. When Roosevelt arrived on the scene, his colleagues urged him to shoot the injured animal. The president refused, saying that to commit such an act would be unsportsmanlike. Though Roosevelt’s fellow hunters thought the news of killing a bear would be a great story for the press, it was the president’s decision that captured the attention of the media and the hearts of the American people. Political cartoons spread across the country showing Roosevelt with his bear, and a toy shop owner in New York, named his stuffed toy bears after the incident, the “Teddy Bear” was born. No extant material culture is associated with the event, although a historical marker is located along Highway 61 in the unincorporated town of Onward, seven miles south of Rolling Fork.

On April 4, 1915 McKinley Morganfield was born in Rolling Fork and the blues heritage he created under the name of Muddy Waters became legendary. Waters’ revolutionary contribution

Page 4: Architectural Survey of Rolling Fork, MS

to the music world gained national attention more than three decades after he was born with the release of a 78-rpm record featuring a pair of traditional Mississippi Delta-style pieces, “I Can’t Be Satisfied” and “I Feel Like Going Home.” No material culture remains associated with Morganfield and he did not spend the years associated with his period of significance in Rolling Fork. However, a relocated and reconstructed cabin similar to the one Morganfield was born in is proudly displayed in the town square near the courthouse with a commemorative marker in an effort to generate tourism.

While Sharkey County in the early twentieth century was home to multiple cotton farms, Mississippi delta towns like Rolling Fork remained small and undeveloped. In 1920, only 500 people lived in Rolling Fork, a town that had no sidewalks, paved streets, recreational facilities, or industry. That changed from 1924 until 1969, when Sam Rosenthal, a Jewish merchant, served as mayor of Rolling Fork. Rosenthal improved electrical service, paved roads and improved infrastructure that attracted other mercantile business and established a small but influential Jewish community in the greater Rolling Forks/Cary/Anguilla area. During this period, the Water Electrical and Water Works was established along what is now Dr. Martin Luther King Jr Boulevard, businesses developed along the town square (primarily along China Street), and industry such as the Coca-Cola Bottling plant were established in this agricultural community. In 1935, the US government bought 95 squares miles east of Rolling Fork to form the Delta National Forest with its district office located in Rolling Fork. This effectively permanently removed a quarter of the county from agricultural development and limited the city’s expansion to the east.

One of Rolling Forks most notable residents was Fielding Lewis Wright (May 16, 1895 – May 4, 1956) a Democratic politician who served as Governor 1946-1952. In 1948 Wright was nominated as the vice president candidate of the States' Rights Democratic Party, running alongside South Carolina’s Governor Strom Thurmond. Governor Wright's administration concentrated largely on urbanization and industrialization, issues of increasing importance to rural states struggling to modernize their economies at the end of World War II. Fielding L. Wright governed Mississippi at a time when the state's economy, social customs, and race relations were undergoing significant changes. His home on Parkway Avenue is associated with the period in which he attained significance.

By 1975, Rolling Fork had eight churches, a movie theater (destroyed by fire in 2011), a newspaper, lumber company, five grocery stores, two auto dealerships, three cotton gins and three cafes. However, with continuing mechanization of agriculture and a decline in employment, Rolling Fork’s economic decline started in the late 1970s and businesses steadily closed over the next several decades as residents left for jobs elsewhere for better jobs and higher wages.

Page 5: Architectural Survey of Rolling Fork, MS

Today, the main economic engine of the area is still agriculture. However, there have been efforts to increase tourism. In 2002, the Great Delta Bear Affair became an annual event in Rolling Fork to commemorate the 100th anniversary of President Theodore Roosevelt’s famous bear hunt in the Mississippi Delta. 5.0 Preparer. Joseph Scott Murphey, a historical architect from the Fort Worth District of the US Army Corps of Engineers, made a two-day site visit to Rolling Fork in early September 2012. Mr. Murphey is an architectural historian and registered architect in Texas and Pennsylvania with 22 years of direct experience in the field of historic architecture and cultural resource management with the corps. He exceeds the minimum standards under the Secretary of the Interior’s Standards for architectural history as required by the MOA.

SURVEY OF TEN STRUCTURES

Page 9: Architectural Survey of Rolling Fork, MS

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 1. Sharkey County Courthouse. Address: 120 Locust Street City: Rolling Fork County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Criterion A for association with local events of Politics/Government during the period of 1902-1962 in Sharkey County and Criterion C under Architecture as a true representative type of early 1900s Beaux Arts courthouse construction in Mississippi. Architectural Style: Beaux Arts/Classical Revival Construction Date: 1902 Description/Alterations: This courthouse by Architect W.S. Hull had two additions in 1965 on the north and south sides which compromised its integrity. Despite the unsympathetic additions, the courthouse still clearly conveys its original design values under Criterion C and within a little over two years, the period of significance under its association with local events will encompass the 1965 additions within the fifty year time frame for consideration under National Register criteria. In comparison with related properties, the National Register listed Beaux Arts Copiah County Courthouse (1902) by J. Gordon Riley in Hazelhurst, Mississippi has later additions which compromise but do not destroy the ability of the resource to covey its significance.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 2. Coca-Cola Bottling Plant. Address: Northeast corner of Martin Luther King Jr Drive and Magnolia. City: Rolling Fork, Mississippi. County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Criterion A for association with local events under Commerce for its role in the industrialization and commercial development in Rolling Fork, 1900-1962. Architectural Style: Early Twentieth Century Industrial. Construction Date: 1919 Description/Alterations: This single gable masonry structure was constructed as a Coca-Cola bottling plant. The Coca-Cola logo was prominently displayed painted on the brick in the masonry gable end and can still be seen upon close inspection. The interior is in poor condition and all original steel sash windows have been replaced. Despite the loss of integrity of materials in terms of fenestration, the structure still conveys its significance as an early example of an industrial property in early twentieth century Rolling Fork.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 3. Electrical and Water Works and Water Tower. Address: Near the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Drive and Maple Street. City: Rolling Fork, Mississippi. County: Sharkey. Areas of Potential Significance: Criterion A for association with events under Community Planning . Water towers typically served as a local landmark and as a point of civic identity in rural America. The Rolling Fork electrical and water works /water tower is significant for its role in community development and planning and development, bringing electricity, water and fire protection to rural Mississippi and allowing expansion of civic infrastructure during the early twentieth century. Criterion C for design and construction values – the water tower possesses typical features of early twentieth century water towers and the electrical and water works building is typical of early twentieth century industrial buildings. Architectural Style: Early Twentieth Century Industrial. Construction Date: 1919 (building and water tower). Description/Alterations: This single gable masonry structure was constructed as Rolling Fork’s first Water Works and Electrical plant. The interior is in poor condition and all original steel sash windows and doors have been replaced. Despite the loss of integrity of materials in terms of fenestration, the structure still conveys its significance as an early example of an industrial property in early twentieth century Rolling Fork. The all-steel water tower is typical of civic water towers in America from 1890-1940. It features a cylindrical riveted steel tank with a hemispherical bottom and a conical roof with a finial. It is elevated on a four-post lattice girder trestle tower with diagonal tie rods. The town name is painted in black on the silver tank and is most likely original. The water tower dates from the 1919 and has excellent integrity of location, design, setting materials, workmanship, feeling and association, showing little modification from its original construction date.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 4. Fielding L. Wright Residence. Address: Parkway Avenue. City: Rolling Fork County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Criterion B under Politics/Government for its associations with Fielding L. Wright, governor of Mississippi 1946-1952 and vice president candidate alongside Governor Strom Thurmond on the Dixiecrat ticket in 1948. This was his home residence during his administration and is associated with him during the time he achieved significance. Architectural Style: Colonial Revival. Construction Date: Circa 1940s Description/Alterations: Asymmetrical two story with windows in adjacent pairs and an accentuated front door with sidelights. Aluminum siding installed. From the street view, it appears the windows may have been replaced, as the muntins appear too thin for period windows.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 5. Georgiana Plantation. Address: Located along Deer Creek, 1.5 miles southwest of Cary, Mississippi off Georgiana Road which intersects Cary Blanton Road. City: Rolling Fork County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Criterion C as a true representative example of antebellum plantation homes and under Criterion A for its associations with pre Civil War agriculture. Architectural Style: Antebellum Plantation House. Construction Date: 1832-1848. Last occupied in 1954.

Description/Alterations:

David Hunt gave this plantation to his son George Ferguson Hunt (1827-1863) when he married Anna Watson. George Hunt was a member of the Hunt family, which owned 24 plantations in antebellum Mississippi. Anna was the daughter of James Watson who owned Buena Vista Plantation - Claiborne MS. The name Georgiana is George and Anna put together. Watson's Plantation, which was next to Georgiana on Deer Creek, probably belonged to Anna Watson's family. According to the 1860 census, George Hunt had 13 slaves in 9 houses managed by Jno Densmore and 147 slaves in 26 houses managed by G.W. Johnson. They were probably all on Georgiana Plantation. George and Anna did not live at Georgiana; they resided at the Huntley Plantation in Jefferson County.

Georgiana is a two and a half story antebellum plantation house, said to be the oldest structure in Sharkey County. The ground floor is constructed of thick masonry walls with a cement finish. Masonry construction was most likely used to survive frequent flooding of the delta. The masonry first floor supports a one and a half story milled-cypress log frame living quarters. Both levels feature a north-south dogtrot that extends from front to back. A covered porch runs the length of the home on both the first and second floors. Two massive brick chimneys once rose over 60 feet from the ground floor but have collapsed. A cistern is located within the dogtrot on the ground floor. The metal roof is a recent addition. The front staircase has been destroyed. All windows have been destroyed and boarded over. The home has not been inhabited since 1954. Considering the lack of maintenance, the home has a relatively high degree of integrity of location, setting, design, workmanship, materials, feeling and association. A sister house was located adjacent to Georgiana but was destroyed by a tornado in 1971. Sources: Georgiana Plantation.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 6. Henry Kline Memorial Congregation Synagogue. Address: West side of 3rd Street between Martin and Joor Ave. City: Rolling Fork County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Criterion A for association with religious events related to the Jewish community in Rolling Forks and Criterion C for its design and construction values as a mid century modern synagogue. Architectural Style: Mid Century Modern Construction Date: 1957. Description/Alterations: Throughout much of the Rolling Fork Jewish community’s history, Greenville’s Hebrew Union Congregation was their religious home. Jews from the Sharkey County towns of Rolling Fork, Cary, and Anguilla went to services in Greenville and were buried in the Jewish cemetery there. In the 1950s, Rolling Fork Jews formed their own congregation named after one of the community’s Jewish pioneers.

In the 1880s, Henry Kline arrived in Anguilla by way of the emerging railroad. Although he started a department store and helped other Jewish merchants and farmers in the region, Kline was unsatisfied with the Jewish education structure in this rural area. As a result, he gathered all the children of the town and began teaching them Hebrew lessons every Sunday in his home.

While Henry Kline had passed away by 1953, Jewish residents of the southern Delta desired a Jewish experience that was more accessible than Greenville. As a result, Mrs. William Klaus led an effort in September of 1953 to start a Rolling Fork congregation. By 1956, the Rolling Fork congregation, known then as the Henry Kline Memorial Congregation in honor of the religious school pioneer, became so successful that some were discussing the possibility of a permanent house of worship. By October 1956, local Jewish and Christian families had donated money for a permanent synagogue building. Longtime Rolling Fork mayor Sam Rosenthal, for example, served as president of the congregation.

As in other parts of the Mississippi Delta, Jewish life has declined in Sharkey County. By the 1990s, the synagogue’s membership had dwindled in size, and the congregation finally closed in 1992. The structure is minimalist mid century modern. Red brick veneer in a running bond with white mortar wrap the structure. A low slope built-up roof is pitched at the center. A high band of windows is centered on each side of the structure. The front façade features a low brick flower box and an asymmetrical pattern in the brick on the left side that rises from the flower box and culminates into a bronze Star if David. The exterior of the synagogue is in pristine condition and has a high degree of integrity of location, setting, workmanship, design, materials, feeling and association. It is currently used for storage as it has been decommissioned as a synagogue. Sources: Encyclopedia of Jewish Communities.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey

Resource Number 7. Vernacular Barn. Address: Two miles north of Rolling Fork to the left of Highway 61. City: Rolling Fork County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Under Criterion C for its associations with late nineteenth/early twentieth century agriculture in the lower Mississippi delta and Criterion C as a true representative example of vernacular barn structures of the period. Architectural Style: Vernacular. Construction Date: 1880-1910 Description/Alterations: This barn is in part of the ruins of an early twentieth century homestead immediately north of Rolling Fork Mississippi. It was most likely the home of a tenant farmer or sharecropper. The central barn structure is a rectangular barn with a single gable roof running east/west. A tractor shed was added as a lean to on the north and a covered animal pen was attached to the south. The barn has partially collapsed and is in an advanced state of deterioration, as are all the structures of the farmstead. Integrity of the structure in terms of materials and design is severely compromised. However, it is one of a very few remaining examples of its type left in Sharkey County, Mississippi.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 8. Shotgun House. Address: 222 Sidney Alexander Street near the corner of Maple Street City: Rolling Fork County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Under Criterion C for architectural design values as a true representative example of an early twentieth century shotgun house found throughout the south. Architectural Style: Vernacular Shotgun House. Construction Date: Circa 1900. Description/Alterations: This residence displays the hallmarks of typical shotgun houses found in the southern United States; a rectangular, one story wood frame single gable residence with lap siding no more than twelve feet wide, with rooms arranged one behind the other with doors at each end of the house. A small overhang with decorative brackets occurs over the front door. Also typical of shotgun houses, it is located close to the street with little front yard. Integrity of location and setting is hard to determine as the concrete foundation blocks are of recent origin. In terms of materials, windows and doors have been replaced but the lap siding appears to be original. The decorative porch brackets have been covered up but probably are extant under the siding. In terms of design, feeling and association, the home still evokes the essential characteristics of typical southern shotgun houses found throughout the southern United States and still exist in large numbers in Rolling Fork. In terms of Design, Feeling and Association, this structure has one of the highest degrees of integrity in Rolling Fork.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 9. American Craftsman Residence. Address: McLaurin Street City: Rolling Fork County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Under Criterion C for its design values as a true representative of the American Craftsman style of residential architecture. Architectural Style: American Craftsman. Construction Date: Circa 1930. Description/Alterations: The two story frame home has the typical characteristics of the style; low pitched roof lines, deeply overhanging eaves, exposed rafters and decorative brackets, 9-over-1 double hung wood windows, front porch with square porch columns. Of note is that the siding is mitered at the corners, conveying a high degree of workmanship. The home has excellent integrity of location, setting, materials, workmanship, design, feeling and association. Porch railings appear to be an addition, slightly compromising the design integrity.

Rolling Fork Area Resource Survey Resource Number 10. SOJOMAX Grain Elevator. Address: Highway 61 in Egremont (between Cary and Rolling Fork). City: Egremont County: Sharkey Areas of Potential Significance: Criterion A for its associations with early twentieth century lower Mississippi delta agriculture and Criterion C as a true representative example of early twentieth century American grain elevators 1843-1943. Architectural Style: Early Twentieth Century Industrial. Construction Date: Circa 1930 Description/Alterations: Grain Elevators are one of the most iconic agricultural structures in America. Originally built along the railroad line to store wheat, this transfer-type elevator has primarily stored soybeans since the crop became popular in the lower Mississippi delta in the early 1950s. The eight-bin complex towers above the flat delta lands and is a visual landmark along Highway 61 in Egremont, an unincorporated town between Cary and Rolling Fork, Mississippi. SOJOMAX is painted in large faded red lettering on the side of the grain elevator and means “great bean,” in reference to soybeans. The elevator has not been in operation for decades.
