The Rail Spike Park Pavilion is a 3,150-square-foot, multiuse gathering and event space. It was built as part of an overall conversion of an abandoned railway corridor.

The pavilion is situated along a primary entrance to downtown. Beard + Riser Architects PLLC designed it to reflect the utilitarian nature of the rail corridor, bordered by brick warehouses and industrial buildings, as well as agrarian gin buildings and tractor sheds common to the Mississippi Delta. Rail Spike Park Pavilion was constructed with steel framing clad in a combination of corrugated Galvalume, solid and perforated. Likewise, surrounding industrial buildings prevalently have corrugated metal for wall paneling and roofing. The pavilion’s distinct angular form and signage marks the entrance to the historic district.

To complete the project, Malouf Construction LLC installed 6,090 square feet of MBCI’s PBC corrugated metal wall panels in 26-gauge Galvalume Plus.
