Levi~Marks Store

This brick building, the first in the back-country, was built using 100,000 bricks from Ike Levi's Julian kiln for Adolph Levi, an Austrian emigrant, and his partner Joseph Marks, a native Mississippian. Dissolution of the partnership made Marks the sole owner of the new building. Except for a lease to Rudy Levi and Jake Noah, Marks housed his Julian mercantile here until he retired in 1921. This remaining example of several early Julian brick buildings has housed a valuable community service without interruption for more than 100 years.
