Main Street Collierville (MSC) has submitted a request for a certificate of appropriateness to modify the west side of the building located at 100 East Millburn Street. The property owner, Townsquare Partners, supports MSC's initiative to install three artistic panels on the building's west facade, while no changes are proposed for the front facade.

The building, a one-story commercial structure built around 1908, is situated in a central business zone and features distinct 20th-century architectural elements, including wooden shingles and a shed roof awning. Historical records indicate that the building underwent alterations between 1975 and 1980 and is not classified as a contributing structure within Collierville's National Historic Register District.

MSC plans to incorporate the new mural panels as part of a walking tour, enhancing the town square's aesthetic appeal. The proposed design will pay homage to Grace's beauty shop, which previously occupied the building. Although the final artwork is yet to be determined, MSC aims to ensure that the panels do not obstruct any decorative features and can be easily removed without damaging the structure.

The installation is expected to be completed by September 2024, with minimal disruption to Mulberry Street, although access to the alleyway may be limited during the process. The Historic District Commission (HDC) will evaluate the appropriateness of the proposed materials and installation methods, including the use of aluminum composite for the panels and the placement of lighting fixtures above each panel for nighttime visibility.

MSC has committed to maintaining the panels and will establish a formal maintenance agreement with the property owner. The HDC's decision will determine the future of this artistic enhancement in Collierville's town square.
