Charles McLaran House, Greek Revival plantation house in Columbus, Mississippi
The Charles McLaran House features a square brick structure with two identical facades, each displaying five bays and a Greek temple front with paneled pillars.
Built between 1847 and 1853, the residence served as a social gathering place during both the Civil War and World War II for military personnel.
The interior design incorporates patterns from Minard Lafever's 1835 architectural publication, demonstrating the influence of period design literature on American architecture.
Located at 514 Second Street South, the house maintains its original position overlooking the Tombigbee River from Pleasant Ridge in Columbus.
The mansion includes a spiral staircase leading to a cupola atop its hipped roof, offering views in all directions from its elevated position.
