Taken in the fall of 1907, this is an image of the Lowman House which was located at the corner of Elm Avenue and Second Street. Built originally in 1887 as the City Inn, the building burned to the ground in 1911. The Dixie Freeze restaurant stands on the property today. As a side note, there is in existence several pieces of cast iron cookware marked LOWMAN BROS SOUTH PITTSBURG, TENN. There is no record of any foundry in operation in South Pittsburg by that name so we assume that there is a connection to the Lowman House, its owners or the business itself.
