Manship House, Gothic Revival residence in Jackson, United States

Manship House is a one-story wooden structure in Jackson with three chimneys, a central hallway, and four rooms arranged around a 50-foot porch on the west side. The layout and design reflect the Gothic Revival architectural style of the mid-19th century.

Charles Henry Manship moved from Maryland to Jackson in 1836 and became a businessman, civic leader and mayor during the Civil War. He completed this house in 1857, and the Manship family occupied it continuously until 1975, when the state of Mississippi acquired it for use as a museum. In 1937 the house hosted the last reunion of Confederate veterans in Mississippi.

The house was acquired by the state of Mississippi in 1975 and is administered by the Mississippi Department of Archives and History, which carried out renovation and restoration between 1976 and 1980. As of February 2015 the Manship House Museum was closed for further restoration and foundation repairs, so check its status before planning a stop.
