William Harris House

The William Harris House . 1835

Named for its first occupant and builder, the William Harris house is often described as an Italianate villa with a Greek Revival interior and is now known for the exquisite restoration done in 2006 by the current owners.

It is surrounded by brick terraces and parterre gardens and recently a large lot measuring 48’ x 95’ with access from the terrace off the kitchen wing was acquired for further expansion.

Living Room

The main floor has four large rooms and a center hall with a connecting wing housing the vaulted den and kitchen.  The second floor opens on to the upper gallery and has a charming sun porch retreat on the back.

Pairs of  fluted Ionic columns create a welcoming and ceremonial entrance  and underscore the architectural refinements found throughout the home.  The current owners installed the faithful 1977 reproduction of the 1814 Parisian Joseph Darfour Monuments of Paris wallpaper in the dining room.

It is in mint condition.

Just Listed – Historic Choctaw – $890,000

Monday, November 5th, 2012

310 N. Wall Street - "Choctaw"

Choctaw was built in 1836 by a prominent contractor and real estate investor Joseph Neibert an it was known as “The Hall” for the first few years but apparently became known as “Choctaw” just prior to the war.

It is recognized by architectural historians for its transitional style from Federal to Greek Revival. The portico is Federal and features Roman Ionic columns and an oval light in the pediment, but the entrance doorway and interior millwork are Greek. By all accounts it is a splendid building.

Back Gallery

In the last twenty years it has had an extensive and award winning restoration; today it is a solid and well maintained structure with modern amenities and very little deferred maintenance.

It shares the block bounded by High, Canal, and Jefferson Streets with the City Auditorium and offers various opportunities for developign gardens and automobile access while affording enormous privacy and security.

The very separate lower ground floor consisting of five principal rooms and four baths has been used for a B&B in the recent past. It has convenient street access and would be suitable for any retail or office situation.

Second Floor Bedroom Level

The upper floors are stunning. The main floor with 13 foot ceilings has a traditional layout with double parlors to the left and dining room and appropriate kitchen to the right. The center hall has a front section and a larger rear section with a sweeping oval staircase to the right. A wide 48 foot long gallery runs along the rear with access from the back parlor and the stair hall.

The second floor bedroom level repeats the layout of the main floor with an elaborate master suite to the right that features a huge custom marble bath.

The grand staircase takes you to the third floor, a brightly lit room with rows of windows on four sides of the cupola.

Welcome to The Goodwin Harrison House…$299,000

Tuesday, September 11th, 2012

The Goodwin Harrison House

211 N. Jefferson Street – One of the most appealing aspects of this picturesque two story low-hipped roof treasure is how beautifully several elements of different architectural styles appear in the same building. It is basically Greek Revival, with Gothic columns, and Italianate detailing.

It was built in 1852 as an in-town residence by a prominent planter in Noxubee County and is thought to be the only architect-designed antebellum residence in the town. In 1974 it was saved from demolition and restored by a local preservation activist Mrs. Mildred Cavett Taff Pearson.

A two story five bay portico extends nearly the full length of the front of the house with six slender octagonal columns supporting a full entablature. There is a conservatory wing on the south side, a two story bathroom wing to the rear, and a one story kitchen wing with storage rooms and a family dining room also to the rear.

Living Room

The main part of the house is square in form with a wide center hall and four large rooms on each level. There are eight mantels. The parlor and dining rooms are separated by sliding double doors which have original wood graining.

There is an original brick kitchen building with three rooms just north of the house.
