Annual Ornament - The Old Federal Building

HHDA's annual ornament is still available! This year we selected the Old Federal Courthouse at the corner of Pine and Forrest.  Built in 1910, this building was the first in Hattiesburg to be added to the National Register of Historic Places.  It was designed by architect John Taylor Knox and constructed as Hattiesburg's third Post Office.    The site is believed to be the location where; in 1880, William Harris Hardy, founder of Hattiesburg; sat on the banks of Gordon's Creek, spread out his map of Mississippi and traced the line of the New Orleans and Northeastern Railroad.  He decided to name the city for his wife Hattie Lott Hardy.

Ornaments are exclusively available at downtown merchants.  Cost $10.  You may also find ornaments from previous years if you need to complete your collection.  These make great gifts!
