Amos Deason Home, Greek Revival residence in Ellisville, United States.
The Amos Deason Home features hand-hewn timbers from local pine forests, wooden pegs for assembly, and weatherboards crafted to resemble masonry blocks.
Built between 1855 and 1860, the residence became the location where Confederate Major Amos McLemore was killed by Newt Knight during the Civil War in 1863.
The house represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Mississippi landowners, incorporating elements such as a hexagonal vestibule and French doors at the entrance.
Located at 410 North Deason Street, the National Historic Register property provides guided tours and paranormal investigation opportunities through the Daughters of American Revolution.
The pine floorboards contain permanent marks from Major McLemore's death, while the front door reportedly opens by itself each year on the assassination anniversary.
