The Gillette House sits in Greenwood, Mississippi, the home’s listing says, “The Gillette House, built to resemble a showboat, was once one of the most beautiful homes in Greenwood, and can be again! Gorgeous molding, mantles, hardwood floors, solid wood doors enhanced with egg and dart molding. View of river from the second floor.”

The home was built 110 years ago in a neoclassical architectural style by Greenwood mayor, Stage Marye, in 1908. The single-family home stands at 5,177 square feet and was built to resemble the showboats that used to travel on the Mississippi River.

The great thing about older architecture is that even though paint might peel and wood can start to rot, the bones of a structure tend to stand strong. This Mississippi mansion still shines with beauty, despite its crumbling exterior and interior.

The mansion has 6 bedrooms, a wraparound porch, a foyer, a spacious living room, ionic columns, a front entryway, beautiful fireplaces, a farmhouse sink, and a clawfoot tub!
