Let's continue exploring Mississippi Doors. What lies behind? Anything interesting? Empty space? Snakes? Memories of long lost customers, children, and shop clerks? Will we ever know?

Johl & Bergman Shoes once occupied this store. The handsome entrance featured dual doors and large plate glass windows to display their merchandise. Note the black marble panels.

| Smith's Appliances, Vicksburg |
Smith's Appliances on Magnolia Road in Vicksburg sells old machines, freezers, and odd treasures. It's fun to sniff around places like this. The owner has generously let me
photograph inside.

| Former YMCA Club, Monroe Street, Vicksburg (Kodak Royal Gold 25 film, Leica M2, 35mm ƒ/2 Summicron lens). (Note: Royal Gold 25 was an astonishing film, but it gone forever) |
The former YMCA on Clay Street in Vicksburg continues to deteriorate. Status: unknown. I
photographed inside many times in the past.
 |
| Hallway in St. Francis Xavier Convent, Vicksburg (Kodachrome 25 film) |
The St. Fancis Xavier Convent is now part of the Southern Cultural Heritage Center. This building was home to the nuns who ran the school and helped operate the hospital for over 100 years. Most of the convent building is unused now, but the roof has been repaired to prevent water damage.
 |
| Demolition of 915 Clay Street, Vicksburg (Moto G5 phone) |
This was a late 1800s wood building broken up into 5 or 6 apartments. In 2021, I saw that part of the roof had collapsed, which foretold the eventual condemning of the structure. It was
demolished in 2022.

| Deconstructed church, 1205 MLK Blvd., Vicksburg |
Someone took apart this little church on Martin Luther King Blvd. I do not know if they recycled the wood or rebuilt the church in another location.
 |
| Warehouse, Railroad Avenue, Hazelhurst |
Oops, I could not resist, a door from Fells Point, Baltimore Inner Harbor, Maryland.

This ends out short tour of the mysteries of doors. Thank you all for reading.

Nice. Doors are always a good subject.
I love to photograph doors, and these are exceptional. I especially liked the final photograph with the beautiful door knob plates. The remnants of the canopy over the back door in Greenville is my kind of photograph. And finally, the curved molding on the convent interior is interesting.
