Clarksdale Sights
Adam and I are enjoying our time in Clarksdale. I wanted to share some of the sights with you before we leave this week. Clarksdale has so many cool old buildings in various states of dereliction or beautiful restoration. There are also quite a few fun murals painted on the sides of downtown buildings.
This old drug store is next door to where we're staying. The Greyhound station is across the street.
The impressive McWilliams Building, a skyscraper in its day, is in the heart of downtown, its many rooms empty. This is its back side.
The back door of this men's clothing store has a fun image.
The home below belonged to Blanche Clark Cutrer, who inspired a character in Tennessee Williams's work.
T. Williams's grandfather was pastor at the Episcopal church, below.
The Methodist church has fascinating architecture!
Lovely homes:
This turret! There's a porch under it.
The pink building was once an ice house and then an ice cream parlor. Next door (the little house) is Hooker Grocery, a nice eatery.
The McWilliams Building from the front -- it needs some TLC:
And now the murals:
I like this little store, Miss Del's.
Plenty of stores have spots to "sit a spell."
He's a very good baby and sleeps well, but Anna still could use a nap or three.

Thanks for the tour! I like Miss Del's Christmas lights and screen door. :) I hope Anna gets more naps than the rest of us did, lol! :)
Great pictures, especially of the baby :-) It's wonderful that you can help Anna get more naps.
You are right about the Methodist church's architecture - very interesting!! I think that Episcopal church is very elegant.
Clarksdale has a lot of old and interesting buildings!
Your grandson ( doesn't that sound lovely?) looks adorable. He seems to be very alert for a baby so new.
Isn't that the truth, Lisa! She doesn't seem too sleep deprived. She's napping during the day when he is, which helps.
The churches always have some of the most beautiful architecture in these old towns. Clarksdale used to be quite large, but population has shrunk quite a bit in recent years. Still - the buildings remain.
GM, he is quite alert. I think it's because she didn't have an epidural or c-section. He came out quite wide-eyed. He's been such a delight!
This is a wonderful post! That old town and buildings, it's like going back in time. Anna is beautiful. She looks like a princess sleeping there. Oh, and that baby is adorable. Bet you will miss holding him when you're back home.
Poor Anna! She looks knackered!!! The old buildings are so beautiful!
