Listed by: Marty C McClatchy, Crye-Leike, Inc., REALTORS 901-757-2500

Originally built as a frame cottage for Judge Thomas Falconer and later transformed into a grand two-story Greek Revival residence by master architect Spires Bolling in 1870, this home preserves nearly two centuries of Northern Mississippi heritage.

Spanning 4,000 sq ft, the home features classic Greek Revival proportioning—anchored by an undercut gallery supported by octagonal columns.

At $360,000 ($90/sq ft), the estate presents an incredible price-to-square-footage ratio for a move-in-ready historic landmark featuring original museum-quality details.
