1. The Bricken Building Marker
In the late 1800s, Benjamin R. Bricken,
Crenshaw County's first attorney-at-law, built
the Bricken Building, a landmark in the field
of law in this county. Between 1893 and 1933,
the Bricken Law Firm occupied the building
Then, Ben H. Lightfoot and Horton H. Little
practiced law under the name of Little and
Lightfoot. After voters elected Ben H. Lightfoot
as prosecuting attorney for Crenshaw County
in 1936, the law offices of Thompson and
Little occupied the building. Since 1980, the
law firm of Lightfoot and Nichols has had
offices in the building.
