Pemberton's Headquarters, Greek Revival mansion in Vicksburg, United States.
Description

History
The house was built before the Civil War and became a command center during the Siege of Vicksburg in 1863. After the military conflict ended, it was repurposed and served various civilian purposes over the following decades.
Culture
The building takes its name from its most famous resident and reflects Vicksburg's pivotal role during the conflict. Visitors can see how military operations and civilian life were deeply connected during that period.
Practical
Visitors should be aware that extensive restoration work is planned through 2025, which may affect access to the site. Check current conditions before planning a visit to ensure you can see the building.

After the war, the Sisters of Mercy took over the building and operated it as St. Anthony's Hall for educational purposes. This phase as a school run by the religious community lasted more than 50 years and gave the building a completely different purpose.
