In an earlier post I corrected an entry in the 2010 Landmarks Foundation book concerning the building on the corner of Crawford and South Foster now occupied by MURAL CITY COFFEE. In that correction, I pointed out that the statement "In 1913, William Singletary and A.D. Whiddon opened a farm supply store on the site." could not possibly be correct because in 1913 they had gone into business in a building near the Poplar Head Mule Company building on the east side of South St. Andrews. Well, here's unnerder 'un. On page 49 of the Landmarks book, we read,"The corner of South Foster and Crawford streets was the location of a wagon yard operated by J.P. Folkes..." Well, the wagon yard was on the same block but it was over by Oates. This corner was occupied by the FARMER'S ALLIANCE COTTON WAREHOUSE in 1913. (many of you may recall that THE DOTHEN RIOT was fought over a drayage fee put on one of the Alliance warehouses by the City). That building burned in May of 1916.
