The bank founded by "Colonel" Bayard Sartoris, officially known as the "Merchants and Farmers Bank," is referred to in this novel only briefly - and dismissively. Lucius calls it "the newer, the mushroom" competitor to the Priest family's Bank of Jefferson (26).
According to this novel, the Bank of Jefferson that is run by Lucius Priest I is "the first bank in Yoknapatawpha County," "older" than the Sartoris family's bank (26).
There are at least two different banks in Jefferson. This one - "the Bank of Jefferson," sometimes called "the old bank" - does not figure as prominently in the fictions as the bank founded by Bayard Sartoris in the 1890s (see the entry in this index for Sartoris Bank|Merchants' and Farmers' Bank). We don't know anything about the man or men who originally opened the Bank of Jefferson sometime before the Civil War, but in 1905 it is run by Lucius Priest I (The Reivers, 26).
The house where Lucius Priest lives with his parents is "across the street" from his grandfather's place (54). He spends very little time there in the novel, and as the story-teller he mentions that a "filling station is there now" without any hint of sadness or nostalgia (66).
Although inside the town limits, the place where Grandfather and Grandmother Priest live seems like a fairly large estate. It includes a carriage house and lot. When Lucius describes the drive from there to the Edmonds' place, he describes passing through the Square on the way, which puts this location on the town's southern edge, probably more or less in the same part of town as the Compson estate occupies in other texts. As the story-teller Lucius casually mentions the fact that "what was Grandfather's house is now [i.e. in 1961] chopped into apartments, precarious of tenure" (66).
The house where Mr. Bullock lives is "on the edge of town" (28). The drive to it takes one down a "lane" past "Negro cabins and vegetable patches and chicken yards" (50). Buffaloe turns one of his outbuildings, which "would have been a horse- or cow-barn" on anyone else's property (27), into Jefferson's first "garage" (32), and turns "an area of open land behind his house" into a "motor drome" where he can drive and test the car that he builds himself (30).
The town's 'electric plant uses steam to generate electricity for the people of Jefferson. It would be many decades, however, before rural electrification brought power to most of the rest of Yoknapatawpha.
"Across town from the Holston House" and lower in status (25), the Commercial Hotel seems to be more like a boarding house than a hotel. Besides Boon Hogganbeck, its all-male clientele includes jurors in town for trials and "horse- and mule-traders" (25). In subsequent eras it becomes "the Snopes Hotel," then, for a brief but presumably flamboyant time, a place known to "the police as Little Chicago," and still later as "Mrs. Rouncewell's boarding house," which is apparently what it is still called at the time the story is being told (25-6).
This site - which Lucius calls "Major de Spain's hunting camp" while adding that it is known to his grandson's generation as "McCaslin's camp" (18) - is best known as the setting for Faulkner's earlier story "The Bear." According to the account in The Reivers, the "four or five sections of river-bottom jungle" on which de Spain built the camp sometime "between 1865 and '70" was originally "a portion of old Thomas Sutpen's vast kingly dream" (19). Twenty miles from Jefferson, the camp itself is a fairly elaborate place, and includes "the lodge and stables and kennels" (18).
Dr. Peabody's office is "above Christian's Drugstore" (14) - i.e. like most of the offices around the Square in Jefferson, it is located on the second floor of a commercial building. It is also described as being across the street from Isaac McCaslin's hardware store.
