Cafeteria - Hercules Powder Company
The Hercules Powder Company Cafeteria is
believed to have been built in the 1940s, some 20 years after the Hattiesburg
plant opened in 1923. Although it was initially built as a cafeteria, over the
years it reportedly contained a barber shop, a commissary, a pool hall, and even
a one-lane bowling alley. The architectural style has been described as
Streamline Moderne, a later evolution of Art Deco. Streamline Moderne
includes ship-like features such as porthole windows, curved corners, and
railings, all of which can be observed on this building. The building has been
unused for several years, and has fallen into disrepair, however, this model has
attempted to restore the building to what is believed to be a close estimation
of its original appearance.
