The House of Benjamin at 602 2nd Street South in Columbus, Mississippi (Lowndes County) is hardly a spectacular residence, but it has some beautiful features. The 1 1/2 story frame home has a formidable roof with many gables with gable returns. A front dormer and side dormer interrupt (and enhance) the massing of the roof--both are barely visible in the photograph of the home. The symmetry of the front facade shows a gable unit on either side of the flat-roofed portico with a 4/1 window in each gable and a triple windows at street-level also on each side of the porch. The row of 3 windows has a decorative design in the upper portion probably of leaded glass in a mix of Cathedral and Diamond patterns: there surely is a proper name for this design. The portico is small with a flat roof supported by ornamental turned columns and an attractive open-work railing at the sides of the steps and extending the short distance to the entry. The entry itself is a single-leaf paneled wooden door with an acorn pediment above. Decorative lamps flank the entrance on each side. The name House of Benjamin is on a sign in front of the home.

Friendship Cemetery National Memorial Corporation is a historic burial ground located in Columbus, MS. The cemetery is a national memorial and is known for its significance in the Civil War. It is the final resting place of both Confederate and Union soldiers, as well as civilians who died during the war. The cemetery spans over 20 acres and contains over 2,100 graves.

The cemetery was established in 1849 and was originally a private burial ground for the local community. However, during the Civil War, the cemetery became a place of significance as it was the site of a Union soldier's burial. The local women of Columbus decorated his grave with flowers, which sparked a tradition that spread throughout the country and eventually became Memorial Day.

Today, the cemetery is maintained by the Friendship Cemetery National Memorial Corporation, which was established in 1977 to preserve and protect the cemetery's historical significance. The corporation is a non-profit organization that relies on donations and volunteers to maintain the cemetery's grounds and provide educational programming for visitors.

Visitors to the cemetery can take a self-guided tour or participate in guided tours that explore the history and significance of the cemetery. Additionally, the cemetery hosts a variety of events throughout the year, including Memorial Day services, wreath-laying ceremonies, and historical reenactments.

Aberdeen, Mississippi I liked this shot so much in 35mm black and white that I went back and did it again on color medium format. You can see the black and white version earlier in my photostream. 1949 Kodak Tourist camera with a hard-coated Tessar Anastigmat Special lens and shutter from a 1947 Kodak Monitor. Kodak Ektar 100 film, developed in a liquid Arista brand C41 kit. Scanned on an Epson V550 using the standard negative carrier and a slab of anti-newton ring glass on top to hold the negative flat.
Lehmquen (1838), Columbus, Mississippi 1 This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. [2 photos--one of the front and one of the entrance] Lehmquen (1838) is a one-and-a-half-story Greek Revival frame home in an area of residential beauties in Columbus, Mississippi. The front facade is very symmetrical with end gable roofing. The central feature of the roof is an eyelid dormer with sunburst motif window. On either side is a gabled dormer with double windows, each with 16 small panes. The fist level has two 6/6 windows (with shutters) flanking the entrance, which consists of a single leaf wooden door. Above this entrance is a horizontal transom of 11 rectangular panes; the sidelights consist of 4 panes with a vertical orientation. Flanking each of the sidelights are fluted Doric pilasters. Framing the entire entry are simulated Doric columns, also with the fluting feature. The porch spans the width of the house with the roof supported by 6 symmetrically placed fluted Doric columns. The porch banister has rectangular railings. An iron fence with brick piers spans the front of the property. The appearance of the house has been compared with New Orleans Creole cottage architecture--and there are some similarities. Lehmquen is included in the South Columbus Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 8, 1982 with ID number 82003104.
