There are quite a few funerals in the fictions, but only two of them use the funeral parlor as a location, and on those occasions it's actually serving as the coroner's office or county morgue for two murdered men. Tommy's corpse is taken there in Sanctuary, and Jake Montgomery's in Intruder in the Dust.
When Horace walks to the square on a Saturday he is struck by the crowds of country people standing outside the "doors of drug- and music-stores," listening to the songs being played on radios and phonographs (112). Presumably the radio in its "imitation wood cabinet" is in the drugstore, and the phonographs with "pebble-grain horn-mouths" can be bought in the music store. It seems unlikely that Jefferson would have more than one of either kind of store. In any case, this icon represents them both - or all.
The narrative never goes inside what it calls "a dentist's office" (which may mean Jefferson has more than one), but it describes Clarence Snopes leaving it and lighting a cigar at the curb in front of it (265). He seems to have gone there to get his teeth checked after being hit in the face, though the narrative does not let us inside the details of that event either.
In The Sound and the Fury Jason Compson pretends he's going to "the dentist" in Jefferson (227). Sanctuary mentions (but never goes inside) what it calls "a dentist's office" - which may mean Jefferson has more than one. That novel does describes Clarence Snopes leaving it and lighting a cigar at the curb in front of it (265). He seems to have gone there to get his teeth checked after being hit in the face, though the narrative does not let us inside the details of that event either.
In this novel the barbershop is associated entirely with Clarence Snopes. He is coming out of it, "moving in an effluvium of pomade" (186), when Horace first sees him in Jefferson, and later it is to the barber that he complains about the "durn lowlife jews" against whom America should have "drastic laws" (266). In this novel the barber himself is unnamed, but in his implied refusal to go along with such prejudice he resembles Henry Hawkshaw, the barber in "Dry September," a short story that was published in the same year as Sanctuary.
The hotel across from the courthouse is where "drummers" (traveling salesmen) stay when they're in Jefferson, and where Horace first books a room for Ruby - until the town's "church ladies" make the proprietor evict her (180). In the middle of the night after the trial, Horace is lying awake on the couch in the hotel's "Sample Room," where the salesmen can show their wares, when he hears the sound of the lynch mob.
The novel calls it both a "garage" and a "fillingstation" (115, 123). It is across the street from the jail, on the corner at the end of the road on which the Benbow house stands. Its pump is covered by an "arcade," and a line of chairs sits along its "oil-foul wall" (115).
This may be the second gas station in Jefferson. The first is the primitive one created around 1905 when the oil company, according to The Reivers, responded to the new presence of automobiles on American roads by adding "a special tank of gasoline, with a pump," to its oil tanks by the railroad tracks (48). The "fillingstation" in Sanctuary was specifically built to service cars (123). The novel also calls it a "garage," and describes how its pump is covered by an "arcade" (115).
The stately house where Horace and Narcissa grew up has been in the Benbow family for a long time. It has been unoccupied for the ten years between Flags in the Dust and this novel when Horace moves back into it. Honeysuckle now grows along the fence that separates the property from the street. Narcissa objects to her brother letting Ruby sleep there, and Horace is initially equally fastidious about allowing Clarence Snopes to get closer to the house than the gate at the end of the drive.
On market days the lot across an alley from the jail is where some of the country people tether the wagons that have brought them to town. At the climax of Sanctuary it is where a "throng" of lynchers take Lee Goodwin to mutilate and then burn him to death (296).
