Claiborne House
Captain V. H. Claiborne, the youngest of ten children, was orphaned at an early age and raised by his brothers. Overcoming the odds, he built a successful packing plant in Jefferson, married a prosperous businessman's daughter, and, in 1871, moved into this lovely Greek Revival home.
Mason-Denton Home
In 1852, this sprawling Free Classic Victorian home, with its wide wrap-around porch, originated as a small Greek Revival cottage. Not content with its location, in 1916, Judge William Mason had the home pulled by oxen to its current location.
Old Mulberry Inn
Louisiana plantations from the 1850’s inspired the architecture of the Old Mulberry Inn. Located on “Quality Hill,” as the area was originally known, the main house features heart-of-pine floors, porch-steps on every side, and a spacious veranda.
Turner Cottage
Built in the 1880’s, the Turner Cottage features charming Folk Victorian detailing including turned spindle porch supports, jigsaw corner brackets, and porch railings with turned spindles. Surprisingly, the the home was originally built as a commercial feed store in a once-thriving business area.
