Inscription.
Dedicated on November 23, 1986, the Pinecote Pavilion was built by the family of L.O. Crosby, Jr. (1907-1978) as a memorial to his legacy. Crosby was a noted forestry figure, philanthropist, and civic leader who held a deep love for nature. Designed by the world-renowned architect E. Fay Jones, the cathedral-like structure rises in harmony with the nearby towering longleaf pines. In 1990, the pavilion received the prestigious Honor Award for Design Excellence from the American Institute of Architects.

Erected 2018 by Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
