About this property

The Magnolias is a historic house in Vicksburg, Mississippi, U.S.. It is a two-story, framed Late Victorian style residence built between c. 1877 – c. 1880. It is considered a good example of local architecture and still maintains the "Vicksburg pierced columns" on the exterior. Tours of the home are sometimes available, and has been part of the annual Vicksburg Pilgrimage in the autumn. The residence was once owned by the Vick family, the namesake for the city of Vicksburg. It is a National Register of Historic Places listed place since 1987; and it is part of the South Cherry Street Historic District since 2003.
