Abstract
The Cotton Growers Association building was designed in 1936 by Walk C. Jones and Walk C. Jones, Jr. The building is located at 44 South Front Street in Downtown Memphis. The building is made mostly of concrete and is designed in Art Deco architectural style. The Cotton Growers building now functions as a commercial building. There are large windows on the top two floors and Chicago windows on the bottom floor. There are bas relief ornamentations in between the windows and above the windows. There are also bas relief ornamentations around the rood of the building. To learn more see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J. Johnson.
