Mississippi City Courthouse
Hello Blueoctavia, regarding your recent additions on the style of the old Harrison County Courthouse that was located in Mississippi City. I have devoted considerable time tracking down the Gulfport, Mississippi Diamond Jubilee publication that you referenced, and have included it as a reference in an update to the article. I believe we can agree that clarification was needed to make the article as accurate as possible. The controversy seems to have centered on the newly constructed building on the site of the old courthouse complex. The word "original" was incorrect and has been removed from the text. The true original courthouse undoubtedly dates back to 1841. Now that the current text clarifies the issue of which building is which, the term re-creation was retained to describe the new grand jury courthouse building. The term re-creation was used by Gulfport city officials in their groundbreaking ceremonies for construction of the building. If you believe the "Original Courthouse" deserves further expansion and clarification, then perhaps you should prepare a referenced article for Wikipedia, with the Courthouse Complex as the principal subject.
