While hanging out at the Pettway lounge (the only business of any kind in Gee's Bend) I struck up a conversation with a man who actually grew up in this particular house and gave me the history of the 12 foot room

I was on my way to Gee's Bend and was a little lost

which resulted in the addition of what was called the 12 foot room because of its dimensions

This is an old water tower at the corner of Auburn Ave and Irwin Street in the Old 4th Ward

in one of the remaining Roosevelt Project houses from the 1930's
