(April 2010) Enlarge Wisteria Place: Circa 1854. This home is distinguished by the six square columns and the handsome balustrade on the portico and balcony. It has retained it's original kitchen attached by a breezeway. Wisteria Place was built by William R. Cannon who was a Mississippi State Legislature and had also served as an acting Governor. Later he served as President of the State Democratic Convention. When he died at the age of 54, Jefferson Davis, U.S. Secretary of War at the time, said, "I lost my best friend." |
(April 2010) Enlarge C.S.A. Arsenal Site (Southside Warehouse): This is the site of the original C.S.A. arsenal in Columbus, Mississippi that was moved to Selma, Alabama. Nothing remains of the original buildings with the exception of a Civil War era warehouse (Southside Warehouse) which was also used as a hospital for Confederate and Union soldiers. Residential streets and homes now occupy the grounds of the former arsenal. Note: The location of the historic marker for the C.S.A. Arsenal site is located on the curb of a side street and on the property line where two back yards of residential homes meet |
