Walter Place, Greek Revival mansion in Holly Springs, United States

Walter Place is a two-storey mansion at 300 West Chulahoma Avenue in Holly Springs, Mississippi, built from 1857 to 1860 to designs by architect Spires Boling. Its front portico has four Corinthian columns, flanked on both sides by crenellated octagonal turrets whose tympanums hold lunette windows. The design combines Greek Revival and Gothic Revival elements.

Construction began in 1857 under architect Spires Boling for Colonel Harvey Washington Walter, president of the Mississippi Central Railroad. The house later witnessed the region's major upheavals, including the Civil War and subsequent public health crises.

Walter Place is where Union General Ulysses Grant stayed with his wife Julia during the Civil War, invited by the pro-Union owner Harvey Washington Walter. When Confederate General Earl Van Dorn took Holly Springs, he was not allowed into the house until Julia Grant had stepped outside, and the mansion was not ransacked; it was then used by Confederate personnel and intelligence officers.

The site welcomes visitors interested in exploring its architecture and history. It is best to check in advance for visiting hours and any specific requirements, as this is a historic property with limited public access.

During the 1878 yellow fever epidemic the house became a quarantine hospital; Colonel Harvey Washington Walter and three of his sons died of the disease that year, and the mansion passed to his widow Fredonia. The property stayed in the family until 1918, when Oscar Johnson's widow sold it to Ford dealer A. M. Green.
