Description

Wood carving by Mario Sanchez depicting Bubba Jack's Fancy Staples and Horse Feed as seen from street. A man is pushing a crawfish and conchs cart down the street and watermelons are for sale next to the feed store. Caption written by Sanchez reads, 'Bubba Jack's was on Petronia Street, off Duval Street. He sold groceries, fruit, vegetables, and horse feed. He had a water pump on the sidewalk in front of the store where the owners of carriages and drays drawn by horses went to feed and water the horses. The man pushing the wheelbarrow was Sammy. The building is no longer there.'
