House of Benjamin (1903), Columbus, Mississippi 5 [This set contains 5 images] This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. The House of Benjamin at 602 2nd Street South in Columbus, Mississippi (Lowndes County) is hardly a spectacular residence, but it has some beautiful features. The 1 1/2 story frame home has a formidable roof with many gables with gable returns. A front dormer and side dormer interrupt (and enhance) the massing of the roof--both are barely visible in the photograph of the home. The symmetry of the front facade shows a gable unit on either side of the flat-roofed portico with a 4/1 window in each gable and a triple windows at street-level also on each side of the porch. The row of 3 windows has a decorative design in the upper portion probably of leaded glass in a mix of Cathedral and Diamond patterns: there surely is a proper name for this design. The portico is small with a flat roof supported by ornamental turned columns and an attractive open-work railing at the sides of the steps and extending the short distance to the entry. The entry itself is a single-leaf paneled wooden door with an acorn pediment above. Decorative lamps flank the entrance on each side. The name House of Benjamin is on a sign in front of the home. In the sign photo can be seen the Greek Revival residence of Riverview (1847-1851), a near neighbor to this gable-prominent structure. The House of Benjamin is included in the South Columbus Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 8, 1982 with reference number 82003104.

Lehmquen (1838), Columbus, Mississippi 1 This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. [2 photos--one of the front and one of the entrance] Lehmquen (1838) is a one-and-a-half-story Greek Revival frame home in an area of residential beauties in Columbus, Mississippi. The front facade is very symmetrical with end gable roofing. The central feature of the roof is an eyelid dormer with sunburst motif window. On either side is a gabled dormer with double windows, each with 16 small panes. The fist level has two 6/6 windows (with shutters) flanking the entrance, which consists of a single leaf wooden door. Above this entrance is a horizontal transom of 11 rectangular panes; the sidelights consist of 4 panes with a vertical orientation. Flanking each of the sidelights are fluted Doric pilasters. Framing the entire entry are simulated Doric columns, also with the fluting feature. The porch spans the width of the house with the roof supported by 6 symmetrically placed fluted Doric columns. The porch banister has rectangular railings. An iron fence with brick piers spans the front of the property. The appearance of the house has been compared with New Orleans Creole cottage architecture--and there are some similarities. Lehmquen is included in the South Columbus Historic District, which was added to the National Register of Historic Places June 8, 1982 with ID number 82003104.

Rosedale (c 1856), Columbus, Mississippi This is a creative commons image, which you may freely use by linking to this page. Please respect the photographer and his work. This beautiful Italianate home from 1855 or 1856 is in Columbus, Lowndes County, Mississippi. It is Rosedale. It was built by W. W. Topp and is located in an 11 plus acre meadow and landscaped yard. It's believed the house was built according to plans by Samuel Sloane (1815-1884), Rosedale closely resembling a design for an Italian Villa in Book 1 of Sloane's 1852 book “The Model Architect". There's no direct proof that this is one of his designs, however. The front facade of Rosedale is totally symmetrical. The home is two-stories high with a 3-story square tower rising from the center of five bays. Construction is stucco over brick with walls 18-inches thick. The exterior stucco has been scored or grooved to give the appearance of quarry stone (the grooves are not visible in the photo). There are two pairs of internal chimneys with chamfered corners and corbeled caps which project from a very low hip pyramidal roof. The tower roof is also pyramidal with brackets in the cornice. The top story of the tower is accented by a belt course of stucco below a pair of round-arched windows in a round-arch opening. An ornamental circle tops the window opening. On either side of the tower on the second level are two six-over-six round arched windows. Below the eaves of the roof are six elliptical ventilation grills of cast iron. The center balcony has a canopy over the double doors and a decorated cast iron balustrade. The ground level also has pairs of six-over-six double hung round arched windows flanking the front entrance (not visible in the photo for the first level). The porch extends the full length of the facade and has a canopy roof supported by colonnettes with elaborate foliated brackets. Ornamental millwork characterizes the balustrade. The entry is a single-leaf wooden door with two vertical windows in the top portion and panels below. Sidelights are on either side of the door. The entry surround continues the round arch pattern, the arch rising from paneled pilasters (not visible) and culminating in a keystone (not visible) above the large arched fanlight.
