Context/Comments
"Sub Rosa" is a wood-frame, two-story Greek Revival I-house that has a five-bay flushboard façade and a full-width colonnade of six square box columns. There is a one-bay balcony on the second story that is tied into the two central columns. Built for John and Margaret Greaves after 1852, the house is a good example of the vernacular form of the Greek Revival style brought to Mississippi by immigrants from the Carolinas.

The house was listed on the National Register on 28 April 1975.

It is included in "Jackson Landmarks" (1982) (pp. 136-137).
