In the book To Kill a Mockingbird, what is a decription of the jail, Calpurnia's church, the school and Mrs. Dubose's house?

MAYCOMB
JAIL.  It "was the most venerable and hideous of the
county's buildings." It "was a miniature Gothic joke one cell wide and two cells high,
complete with tiny battlements and flying buttresses. It had a "red brick facade" and
"ecclesiastical windows," and stood on a hill between the hardware store and the
jail.


MAYCOMB
SCHOOL.  The school is right around the corner from the
Finch house and is visible from Scout's front yard. It has a dirt school yard and an
auditorium, but there is little else mentioned about the description of the
school.


MRS.
DUBOSE'S HOUSE.  Mrs. Dubose
lived two doors up from the Finches. The house had a front porch where the old lady
liked to sit; her beloved camellias grew in the front
yard.


FIRST
PURCHASE A.M.E. CHURCH.  The
outside had peeling paint with the only steeple and bell in Maycomb. The adjoining
church yard was of clay, with a cemetery on one side. Inside, the church was unpainted
and the ceiling open. It was lighted by kerosene lamps and "pine benches served as
pews."
