The subject is the Lowndes County Courthouse in Columbus, Mississippi, the county seat of a rural district on the Tombigbee River in the state's east-central region. County courthouses like this one were usually the most imposing public buildings in their towns, housing county offices, court sessions, and records, so they often anchored the town square and drew residents to it for business and public events. The record dates the photograph only to after 1901, so the view likely reflects the building in the early twentieth century, before later renovations and changes around the square.
