This building was originally built and operated as a hotel from 1930 to 1964…read more This building started being used as office space for Mississipp Government offices in 2017. Currently state government offices in the building include: the Board of Cosmetology, the Board of Registration for Foresters, the Charter School Authorizer Board, Office of Capitol Post Conviction Counsel, Offices of Information Technology Services, Office of State Public Defender, Mississippi Department of Mental Health and the Board of Licensed Professional Counselors. During my visit it appeared to be under renovations both inside and out. There are still some historic aspects to the lobby of the building but once you get to the office spaces on the upper floors you can't really tell this was ever a hotel.

I do not think that people can enter it, but the exterior is nice, especially for architecture fans. It features unique cast aluminum doors and features panels that recreate scenes from the famous Battle of Ackia in 1736 to the Vietnam War. The front of the building above the entrance to the quad reads: PEACE SHALL COME TO THOSE WHO SERVE FOR PEACE. The grounds are well maintained and the lawn is picturesque. It is as beautiful as, and enhance the building. In front of the building are two limestone sculpture panels, one on each side of the entrance to the quad, representing a single soldier at war, winning the peace, and returning home and picking up on his life again. If you look closely, you will notice that all of the figures have the same face, even the woman, because they represent one person, or the life of one person in many seasons. In the center of the quad you will find a Tomb of an Unknown Soldier, representing all of the Mississippians lost in all of the wars. The sides of the tomb has four stars along the bottom and reads: "MAY THIS SYMBOL STAND GUARD OVER THE IDEALS AND PURPOSES FOR WHICH GALLANT MISSISSIPPIANS SUFFERED AND MAY IT SERVE AS INSPIRATION TO US TO SHIELD FOREVER THE FRAGILE QUALITY OF LIBERTY". The back of the tomb reads: "TIME WILL NOT DIM THE GLORY OF THEIR DEEDS" Behind the tomb is an American flag that is flying at half-mast. Above the entrance leading into the building, behind the tomb, the building is inscribed with "HOW SWEET MUST BE THE PEACE THE HEROES FIND". The green space in front of the building is well maintained and you will find an information placard on the grounds that gives some background on the building. There is also a small sculpture/memorial located on the side of the building, to its left. It is dedicated to the Mississippi volunteers that helped with the 1889 War with Spain. It has built-in benches and an inscription that reads "HONOR TO HEROES IS GLORY TO GOD". This is definitely worth a visit, even if you cannot go in. The beauty of this memorial is that a visit here can be coupled with a visit to the Old Capital Building and is very close to the two museums.

This monument was dedicated in 1976 and sits out front of the Hinds County Court house. It was…read morebuilt to honor residents of Hinds County who lost their lives in defense of freedom, serving in WWI, WWII, Korea, Vietnam, or who were missing in action. The memorial is a single vertical spire that's branches out to 5 different arms to form its base. It looks kind of like a rocket. In between the arms at the base are 5 panels, dived up by branch of service and MIA. So, there is a panel honoring Army, Navy, Air Force, Marines, and MIA. Boooooo! They forgot the Coast Guard. Being a Coast Guard veteran, I am almost use to being forgotten. At the front of the memorial in the ground is a little marker/plaque that reads "LEST WE FORGET Here in revered memory are recorded those valiant residents of Hinds County who lost their lives in defense of this nation so that we who survive - and our posterity - enjoy the blessings of liberty. May God strengthen our patriots devotion to support and preserve forever the cherished ideals for which these precious lives were claimed in noble sacrifice." The spires and arms are made of stone and the panels are made of marble. So it is made of durable material. The memorial is starting to show sins of age. It could have definitely used a good cleaning. Some of the engraving on the memorial is also a bit difficult to read. It is still a nice memorial honoring their local heroes, even given that oversight. There is metered street parking out front of the memorial and there are commercial parking lots within a reasonable walking distance. This is definitely worth a a few minutes of your time if you are in the area. I almost had to stop after I saw it from across the way. Anyway, as with most memorials that I have visited and reviewed, I was there less than 10 minutes. You may want to consider planning out additional stops at many of the other attractions, or making this stop part of a larger itinerary to maximize your time and trip.
