Junius R. Ward House
Junius R. Ward House, Southern plantation house in Erwin, United States
The Junius R. Ward House is a two-story residence with white columns situated on a 5-acre property in Washington County, Mississippi. The structure features classical architectural elements that represent early domestic construction in the region.
Built in 1830 by Kentucky planter Junius R. Ward, this house remains the oldest standing residence in Washington County. Its construction marked an important moment in the settlement and development of the area.
A portrait of Matilda Ward painted by American artist George Caleb Bingham hangs inside, serving as a visible connection to the family's story. This artwork ties the home to the broader artistic world of the 19th century.
The house can be reached by road through Washington County and is visible from the exterior. Visitors should approach the property respectfully as it is a place of historical significance.
Remnants of an original log cabin from before 1830 are still visible inside the attic of the main house. These traces show how early settlers constructed their dwellings in this region.
