Threefoot view of Meridian, Mississippi

View of downtown Meridian, Mississippi from top (16 fl.) of the Threefoot building. It was built in 1929 as Meridian's Art Deco Center. It is presently occupied only by caretaker - Amos Jones.
The site was added to the America's Most Endangered Places in 2010.The 16-story brick structure is named after the Threefoot family, Jewish-German immigrants who changed their name from Dreyfuss to better reflect their new American home. Abraham Threefoot began to make a name for the family in the late 1860s, and his sons, H. Marshall, Kutcher, and Lewis continued the business after his death.
