Context/Comments
The Curlee House was built in 1860. It exhibits a late, attenuated version of Greek Revival styling that has a strongly Italianate character, although the house is not bracketed. Following the Battle of Shiloh, the house was the headquarters of Confederate generals Braxton Bragg and Earl Van Dorn and Union General Halleck. In 1875, the house was purchased by W.P. Curlee and again in 1921, by S.H. Curlee, founder of the Curlee Clothing Company. Now operated as a house museum.

This house was individually listed on the National Register on 22 August 1975. It was was later listed as a component of Siege and Battle of Corinth National Historic Landmark, which was designated as such on 9 May 1991. It was included as element #98 in the Midtown Corinth Historic District, which was placed on the National Register on 23 December 1993. It was photographed for the Historic American Buildings Survey (HABS) in 1975, as MS-238.
