| A two-story double-pile wood-frame house with a monumental tetrastyle Tuscan portico extending across three bays of its five-bay facade. Its stylistic character is late “bracketed” Greek Revival, showing Italianate influences. An eclectic Greek Revival mansion of handsome proportions and great integrity of setting, it is significant as the only surviving example of a documented building designed and built by David Shroder, the architect/builder of Windsor Plantation in adjoining Claiborne County. Shroder signed his name above the door (D. Shroder Builder '57) and he is further documented as the builder in a journal entry of the owner of the house Dr. Walter Wade. This house was listed on the National Register on 8 December 1978, with 100 acres of land. The house received an HPF grant in the late 1970s. It was designated a Mississippi Landmark on 16 January 1987, at the request of the owners. It is included in "Louisiana Architecture 1840-1860" (2006) (pp. 412-413) and "Buildings of Mississippi" (2020) (ND69, p. 58). |
