Hotel Pinehurst

The state's historic resources inventory lists the New Orleans firm DeBuys, Churchill and Labouisse as the hotel's architect. A Mississippi Heritage Trust writer sees it as a grander cousin of the Hotel Tupelo, with a recessed lobby reached across a courtyard, though whether one firm designed both is unconfirmed. The building is known to date to 1914 and appears on a June 1915 Sanborn map. The Arabian Theater, designed by Emile Weil, was spared when the hotel was torn down. The hotel's site is now Pinehurst Park.
