I suspect that this one has a post-WWII influence, since I see cement blocks that were not available in Mississippi until the 1940s. ===================================================== Good point Jim. OTOH it looks like the block might have been placed to shore up a decaying (older) structure. Sharecropping pretty much died out in the 40s so if you are right that's probably not a true sharecropper's cabin. My recollection is of a small farm plot worked by the Callicotts, but there's no telling when the house was built, or how it might have served an earlier tenant. Callicott was born in 1900, so he would have been no stranger to sharecropping in any event. He passed not long after we were there (according to wiki). -- Phil Swango 307 Aliso Dr SE Albuquerque, NM 87108 505-262-4085
