History

The Adolph Rose Building is a Romanesque Revival style brick commercial building with a flat roof located in downtown Vicksburg. [4] It was built in 1890 by Adolph Rose, a dry goods merchant. [6] This building is architecturally significant in the context of commercial architecture in Vicksburg, Mississippi, which experienced a boom period during the late 19th-century. [4] It contains three stories, and the middle bay reaches into a fourth story; the middle bay originally contained a cornice which was damaged during a 1953 tornado. [4]

The right side of the Adolph Rose Building was remodeled in 1934 into the Strand Theater, which remained until 1966. [2] [6] Feld Furniture occupied the building for 40 years, in the 1940s through the 1980s. [2] [6] The building housed Adolph Rose Antiques on the first floor for 20 years, and closed in October 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic. [6]
