There are properties that sell square footage, and there are properties that sell history. 2617 Confederate Avenue is emphatically the latter — a 1910 residence of documented architectural and historical distinction, positioned directly along the grounds of Vicksburg National Military Park on five private acres of ground where the Civil War's most decisive campaign was decided in 1863. Built for E. C. Neill — a Vicksburg businessman whose commercial legacy endures in this city to this day — the residence was constructed at a scale and standard that reflected his standing in the community. Original solid cypress beams traverse the principal rooms, a material of extraordinary durability and beauty that early twentieth-century Southern craftsmen selected precisely because they understood it would outlast everything around it. They were correct. A handsome brick-floor foyer establishes the formal entry sequence, drawing visitors through to a living room of genuine volume — floor-to-ceiling windows, corner fireplace, proportions that command attention. The formal dining room presents a second fireplace and custom integrated shelving. Come see this stunning home!
