| The Graham House was an excellent local example of a rural vernacular Greek Revival galleried planter’s cottage. The house, begun c. 1860 and completed after the war, typified a popular Mississippi house form. Raised on brick piers, it is one and one-half stories tall with a center hall flanked by two rooms on each side. The full-width undercut porch was supported by octagonal columns which, family tradition holds, were shipped up the Chickasawhay River from Mobile. Supporting structures include a barn, smokehouse and chicken coop. This house, along with its outbuildings, was listed on the National Register on 10 Apr 2008, with 3 acres of land. Martha Graham Bucciantini, a descendant of the original owner, wrote the nomination. The Graham House was destroyed by a tornado in April 2011. |
