New Southern History

The restored historical New Southern Building was originally built in 1927. Many galas, weddings, receptions, campaign announcements took place in this beautiful building. The New Southern Building was placed on the National Register of Historic Places in November 2002. In May 2003 an F4 tornado destroyed much of downtown Jackson, The New Southern was declared structurally sound by engineers and Crocker Construction Co. began cleaning up and restoring the grand hotel to its former glory. Many craftsmen, artisans, architects and construction workers labored over 2 years to restore this landmark.
