About this property

Merrill-Maley House is a historic mansion in Jackson, Mississippi, U.S.. The house was built in 1907 for Philip S. Merrill, the manager of the George B. Merrill & Sons Lumber Company. It was subsequently purchased by Charles E. Maley, a lumber. Later, it was purchased by Dr. W. F. Henderson and his wife, Lucille Henderson. In 1945, the house was remodeled into seven apartments. The house was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1982. The house had been vacant and neglected for over a decade when a contractor bought and restored it in 2014-2016. The building has since operated as an independent living facility.
