The Liddon Building
This historic landmark in downtown Corinth was designed & built by Benjamin Franklin Liddon from 1903-05 and was originally called the "Citizens Savings Bank" building. It was built of Alabama limestone over brick in a style called "Richardsonian Romanesque". Mississippi painter Wyatt Waters featured this building in his 1997 watercolor, "Column As I See 'Em".
The bank occupied the corner of Franklin & Cruise Streets behind the granite column until about 1913. In 1932, The Security Bank started there. The second floor was occupied by several local doctors & dentists over the years, and during WW2, the Red Cross office was there. The third floor was used by many local social clubs for meetings

The Pickwick Theatre Building
Originally built in 1913 as the "Gem Theater" by B.F. Liddon, this building has undergone several changes over the years. As a theater, it originally had 300 seats on the first floor and a balcony with about 150 seats. It was centrally heated & cooled but only showed 'silent movies' for an admission of 5 cents. Since Mr. Liddon was building the Coliseum nearby, he closed the Gem in 1923 and converted it to retail space. By 1935, Pickwick Dam was under construction, so the retail space was converted back to a theater and reopened as the "Pickwick Theater," which by this time could show movies with sound. It closed in the summer of 1961, and in the mid 1960's it was converted back to retail space and continues to be used this way today. Located at 603-605 Cruise Street.
