The Cow Shed
At the North East corner of Highway 603 and the Kiln-DeLisle Road is now located
a vacant lot. In 1935 Izabelle Cameron	'
Glass and William Glass built a dance hall	.	•	wr
on that location. Wilma and Junior (Goat)	'	'	“
Necaise and/or Ray Farve named the facility	j
"The Cow Shed". There were two obvious	i
reasons, the first was at that time a most
popular song was a hit. It was "Meet Me	j
Tonight at the Cow Shed". The other reason
was because at that time there wasn't any
stock law and livestock wandered free. At	■
times these animals stood in the shade of	|
the Glass Place and buffered themselves	1
from wintery winds.
Melva's Place
Melva's Bar and Restaurant was once located where D & K is today. It was named after Sam Haas Sr.'s mother.
Built on the Main street of Kiln, it faced the Kiln-DeLisle Road. Later when the old Poplarville Road was improved, it became Hwy. 603. Melva's was turned to face the more busy thoro-fare in 1984. On the side of the building was a sign painted that read, "Ghost Town Crossing", truly depicting that time during the depression, and also due to the depletion of lumber in the area, Kiln became a ghost town. Businesses had closed, there was no work, and people moved to other areas to find employment.
