Fondren Business District Listed on National Register of Historic Places by David Pharr

Thanks to the vision of the Mississippi Department of Archives and History and National Park Service, and the efforts of The Pix Company, the commercial core of Fondren in Jackson, Mississippi, is now listed on the National Register of Historic Places.  With numerous contributing structures yet to be renovated, the listing will encourage owners to invest in preservation as Fondren continues to develop into a thriving culinary, entertainment, arts, and retail hub for Central Mississippi.
