is housed in this renovated 1880 building on the corner of Broad Street and Water Avenue.
Formerly People's Bank & Trust, the structure's Italianate style
is demonstrated by the arched windows and curved corner.
Originally, it also had a two-story, wraparound cast-iron gallery.
After housing numerous businesses including a hardware store,
law offices and insurance offices, boards were removed
from the windows in 2010 for its renovation as the regional
civil rights visitor center operated by the National Park Service.

Very interesting architecture!
Nice photo. :)
It is so interesting to learn that the NP Service runs this historical center in this building!
Very interesting building and I like her 'outfit'.
I would like to see this some time.
The curved "corner" is its most striking feature.
I love history and the preservation of it.
