Sitting vacant since the early 2000s, 1507 Washington St. was a long-standing gap in the storefronts on Vicksburg’s main thoroughfare.

Built in the late 1800s, the building has seen several restaurants and a furniture store close up shop, leaving a for sale sign in one of its windows, but it has finally found a new owner in Rachael Walker, a local special education teacher with a flare for fixer uppers.
