Reuben Davis House, Greek Revival mansion in Aberdeen, United States.

The Reuben Davis House, also called Sunset Hill, is a two-story frame residence on the south side of Commerce Street, west of Aberdeen's town center. Its north front has a Doric hexastyle portico with eight fluted columns; the two outer bays are narrower, emphasizing the three center bays. Paneled pilasters flank the frontispiece entrance, and a low metal-seamed hip roof crowns the portico.

D.F. Alexander built the original structure in 1847; William Cunningham remodeled and expanded it in 1853. Reuben Davis, a former U.S. congressman and Confederate brigadier general, bought Sunset Hill in 1869, wrote "Recollections of Mississippi and Mississippians" there, and lived in it until his death in 1890. The house was listed on the National Register in November 1978 and named a Mississippi Landmark in February 1987.

The residence shows how wealthy Southern landowners of the 1800s chose to build their homes with Classical design elements to display their status. The Greek Revival style was their way of connecting to ancient ideals of beauty and permanence.

The house is located within Aberdeen's West Commerce Street Historic District and remains visible from the street. Keep in mind that this is a private residence, so viewing is limited to the exterior of the building.

Reuben Davis bought Sunset Hill in 1869 and wrote Recollections of Mississippi and Mississippians there. His second wife asked before her 1912 death that her body lie in state on the parlor's grand piano, surrounded by roses; the request was carried out. The second-floor center hall has an uneven floor, evidence of the 1847 and 1853 building campaigns.
