Name:Architecture of Andrew Johnson in North Mississippi
Abbreviation:Andrew Johnson TR
Date Listed:09 Apr 1984
Comments:The architecture of Andrew Johnson is significant as the collected works of a prolific and creative North Mississippi architect and contractor in the late-nineteenth century. Johnson (1844-1921) was a Swedish-born and trained architect/builder who brought a dregree of architectural sophistication to the primarily vernacular tradition of north-central Mississippi. Buildings designed by Johnson are characterized by the generous and creative use of stock millwork decoration, and his frame dwellings generally are larger and more richly decorated than the prevailing vernacular buildings constrcuted in the area during the last quarter of the 19th century and the early years of the 20th century.
