About This Property
There are few homes in Mississippi with the grandeur and historical
significance that The Priestley Home offers. Located a block south
of the center of Canton, this revived beauty offers four stately
bedrooms, four bathrooms, a formal dining room, music room, parlor,
library, office, sleeping porch, pool, terrace and greenhouse, all
in peak condition. Built by Dr. James Priestley in 1852, the
original house consisted of the front porch, the grand staircase
and four rooms. Various rooms and wings were added throughout the
years, including an office, the current library and an examining
room for Dr. Priestley (which is now the kitchen). Later
additions completed in 1915 included bathrooms, incorporating the
kitchen, which had been detached, and a dining room. The current
owner has meticulously restored the home to its original splendor,
both structurally and cosmetically, going as far as to seek out
historically correct hardware and to retrieve the original dining
room doors. New piers and a steel beam foundation have been added.
Floors, walls and ceilings were replaced and windows were repaired
and a long life metal roof was added. Today the home is a
classical masterpiece. The grand staircase has been restored, the
wide front porch gleams and the relaxing screened sunroom provides
the perfect spot for year-round entertaining. The owner has brought
back the richness of the home with numerous bookcases and ceilings
accented with gilded wallpaper. Each bedroom is spacious and
features a working fireplace and abundant closet space. Bathrooms
feature clawfoot tubs, separate walk-in showers and varnished
wainscot walls. The period kitchen offers today's modern amenities,
while keeping a nod to the fundamental style of the home. The
landscaped grounds cover an acre and feature lush flowerbeds,
regional perennials and mature hardwoods. An established herb
garden is located off of the kitchen. A final
extensive exterior facelift was completed recently with an
extensive repainting, new shutters and replacement hardware.
The home was honored in 2010 by the Mississippi Historic Trust for
Outstanding Restoration. Extensive photographs and documentation of
the restoration are available upon request.
