The Downing House
Est. 1922
Our Story
Built in 1922 by the son of a Civil War veteran, this Vicksburg cottage has been in the same family for over 100 years. We recently bought and renovated the entire home bringing it back to life and preserving its history. Nestled on almost 1.5 acres in the middle of the city, this 2bd/1b cottage gives you the best of both worlds. You can have the privacy of the country while being close to everything the city has to offer.
In this cottage you can find the walls lined with historical artifacts linked to this home and the Vicksburg area such as the original deeds from 1910 - 1912 and a 1922 Vicksburg phone directory. In the kitchen is a cabinet full of 1920's and 1930's bottles found on the property. Whatever draws you to Vicksburg, whether it's the battlefields, the Military Park, the Blues Trail, or a work trip.. we would love to host you at the Downing House.
"Our stay at the Downing House was truly magical! The way the property is set back from the street and surrounded by greenery makes it peaceful and private. We look forward to returning the next time we're in Vicksburg.
