Architectural History

I would love for us to create a poster/map of Dothan in the early 1900s taking pictures that we have of buildings of the time and setting them along the streets where they would have been located.  A history should accompany this map so that we can place who with where and what their jobs were in our community. 

Also, we need a historical study of who designed the beautiful homes of our area and who actually built them.  This area includes Barbour, Henry, Houston, Dale, Geneva, and Pike Counties, You may submit to this section by creating a table in a Word document including the information listed below.  Attach your picture to the email before making it into a thumbnail so we will have a good copy of the home.  Send to Sharman Ramsey.
