ARCHITECTURAL INFLUENCES 1780-1970
Continued
27-	129 Wain Street - Masonic Temple (Stokoe Memorial) - This handsome
brick structure was built in the 1920s and is an excellent example of restrained Neo-Classic Revival. It was designed by Stone Brothers of New Orleans and has very good proportions and carefully moulded plaster details. The most remarkable attribute of this building is that it is almost completely unchanged and has never suffered from insensitive "modernization".
28.	Main Street between Cue and Gex Streets - Hancock County Courthouse -The Courthouse was built in 1911 to replace an older frame Victorian structureyvrhfre-h burreed-. It was designed by Diboll and Owen, Ltd., the same architects who had designed the City Hall and shows a refinement in the 6 years between the two. Although the quality of materials is not as fine
as in many courthouses built in South Mississippi in the period, it's proportions are good. The modified Ionic columns are especially well done.
A large sheet metal ornamental cupola original to the building was damaged beyond repair in Hurricane Camille and not replaced when the building was restored.
29.	162 Main Street - Main Street United Methodist Church - This simple little church dates from the 1850s and is the only good example in the community of "Carpenter Gothic". The description comes from unsophisticated expression of Gothic details in the wood vernacular. Many similar structures were..b.uil:fc at the same period in the deep South. There is an almost exact duplicate of this church in Port Gibson, Mississippi.
