Built in 1938, Baily Magnet's art-deco building has been marveled as an architectural wonder. It was recently voted as a top architectural site by the state chapter of the American Institute of Architects. [ [http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap_travel/20070910/ap_tr_ge/travel_brief_mississippi_architecture Associated Press via Yahoo! News] ] It's architect, N.W. Overstreet, made the cover of a 1938 Life magazine for the school's forward look and his revolutionary technique of formed-in-place concrete. The marvel lies in the details which include carved stone reliefs of Andrew Jackson (the namesake of the city of Jackson) with his troops and Chief Pushmataha with his braves, allies in the Indian wars, at the front footsteps of the building. The halls are terrazzoed and the great auditorium has ornate columns and a stylized horse-and-rider sculpture.
