The History of Souther Field
Looking at Souther Field today one could hardly guess the amount of work
and study that has gone into the making of it. It is due to the
efficient work of the men in charge of construction that it was so
quickly and efficiently done.
The contract for the
construction of Souther Field was let on February 7, 1918 and work was
begun on February 19th. The contract was let on the basis of cost plus
10 percent to J. B. McCrary Co of Atlanta, GA and the Hardaway
Construction Co. of Columbus, GA.
