Manship House
This house, built in 1857 by Charles Henry Manship-- ornamental painter, shop-owner, and local politician-- has been restored and is now interpreted as a museum. It is one of the only examples of Gothic-Revival residential architecture in Mississippi and one of the few antebellum buildings in Jackson. Multiple rooms have been restored to represent either exact details about the family or to be representative of a middle class southern family in 1888. It remains in it original location on Fortification street.
