Constructed primarily from the mid-1800s through the early 1900s, these places of worship were often among the most visually prominent and architecturally striking buildings in Mississippi. Storms, floods, tornadoes, flames, bulldozers, or the disbandment of congregations razed what once was hallowed. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e In \u003ci\u003eLost Churches of Mississippi\u003c\/i\u003e, architectural historian Richard J.
