    Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers

    Guide to the Lambert C. Mims Papers Descriptive Summary: Creator: Lambert C. Mims, 1930-2008 Title: Lambert C. Mims Papers Dates: 1820-2003 (bulk 1965-1989) Quantity: 160.5 linear feet Abstract: Papers agendas, audio tapes, books, campaign material, correspondence, flyers, legal material, magazines, maps, negatives, news clippings, notes, pamphlets, photographs, plaques, reports, slides, speeches, and video tapes. Covers a multitude of local subjects typically found within such political collections. Accession: 06-09-459 ; 459-2006 Biographical Note: Lambert C. Mims was born in 1930 in Uriah, Alabama. He moved to Mobile, Alabama, in 1949 and worked as a salesman before co-founding, a year later, a feed company, and, in 1965, branching out on his own. Lambert Mims was public works commissioner and rotating mayor of Mobile from 1965 to 1985. During Mims' time as mayor/commissioner, the city of Mobile experienced the latter part of the modern civil rights movement, completed the Bayway, and unveiled the George C. Wallace Tunnel. It opened Mobile Greyhound Park and saw the Southern Market/City Hall designated a national historic landmark. It reconstructed and opened Fort Condé and celebrated the nation's bicentennial. It witnessed the devastating destruction of hurricanes Camille and Frederic and saw the first oil well drilled in the bay. It witnessed the completion of the I-65 link across the Mobile-Tensaw Delta and celebrated the opening of the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway. When first elected, Mims was the youngest city commissioner in Mobile's history. Upon leaving office, Governor George Wallace appointed Mims as his ambassador to the Alabama Waterways Development Agency, a position he held from 1985 until March 1987, and one in which he promoted the Tennessee-Tombigbee Waterway.

Italianate House, 901 Fifth Street Figure 6.2-6. Italianate House, 1415 Fifth Street Figure 6.2-7. High Style Queen Anne House, 1817 Center Avenue Figure 6.2-8. High Style Queen Anne House, 1315 McKinley Avenue featuring an irregular roof form and slightly off-center two-story tower with conical roof on the front elevation. The single-story porch has an off-center entry accented with a shallow pediment. Eastlake details like spindles, a turned balustrade, and turned posts adorn the porch, which extends across the full front elevation and wraps around one corner. The house at 1315 McKinley Avenue also displays a wraparound porch, spindle detailing, steep roof, fish scale wall shingles, and cut-away bay on the front elevation. An umbrage porch on the second floor and multi-level gables on the primary façade add to the asymmetrical character of the house. More typical examples of Queen Anne houses in the district display a variety of these stylistic features. Examples of more common Queen Anne residences in Bay City include 1214 Fifth Street, 600 North Monroe Street, and 1516 Sixth Street (Figures 6.2-9, 6.2-10, and 6.2-11). In general, these buildings have irregular footprints and roof forms. Hipped roofs with cross-gabled bays are common, as are hip-on-gable or jerkinhead details. Porch styles vary but typically extend across the full or partial length of the front elevation and wrap around the building corner.

In 1910, it was the residence of Cyrus and Mathilda Wise and their grandson, Ellis Wise. By 1917 “Dodge Bros. Cars” were offered at this site for “$1265 F.O.B. Detroit.” James J. Perry was the distributor. Nash automobiles also were offered at this address in the same decade. The Elman & De Witt Chevrolet Sales and Service Company opened here in 1925. Frank E. Miller I bought the business from Nick De Witt in 1940 and operated Miller Chevrolet until at least the late 1950s, and then moved to 1701 Beacon Boulevard. After Miller’s death, and the death of his son, Frank E. Miller II, Otto Vanden Bosch became president of the business.
