The three-story building across from the Court House, referred to as “Lawyer’s Row”, was constructed in a simplified Greek Revival style between 1857 and 1859. For many years, it was the Woodmen of the World Building with the lodge hall on the third floor and offices on the first two floors. The building is one of the largest antebellum office buildings surviving in Mississippi. The building was renovated in 2010 and currently has three luxury apartments on the second and third floors and the first floor contains a law firm. The small free-standing Greek Revival building on the west end was probably built around 1850 as a law office by William L. Harris and James T. Harrison. Harrison was a member of the Confederate cabinet and later selected to represent Jefferson Davis in his trial for treason, although the trial never took place and Davis was released on $100,000 bail (over $1 million today).
