This building on Walnut Street behind the Hotel Vicksburg was owned and operated by the Elks Club. The building was sold and the organization built at its current location on U.S. 61 South. The building on Walnut was torn down in the 1960s.

Historic photos taken in and around Vicksburg are featured on Sundays in The Vicksburg Post. Many of the photos are from the J. Mack Moore Collection at the Old Court House Museum. Though not all photos were taken by Mr. Moore, they are part of the collection given to the museum by longtime Vicksburg Post managing editor Charles J. Faulk. Appropriate photos from the public will also be accepted and published. To submit a photo, contact Karen Gamble at 636-4545.
