About this property

The Raymond Historic District is an 80-acre (32 ha) historic district in Raymond, Mississippi that was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2007. The listing included 76 contributing buildings, a contributing structure, and a contributing object. Work by the Weldon Brothers is included. Hinds County Courthouse, built during 1857–1859, is "celebrated as one of the state's finest Greek Revival public buildings". It was built by George and Tom Weldon, "a famed architectural and contracting firm from the Natchez area who also designed the 1858 Old Warren County Courthouse in Vicksburg, 45 miles east, which is a National Historic Landmark. The design of the courthouse is credited to Jackson, a slave who worked as a draftsman for the Weldon brothers and also designed the Old Warren County Courthouse. As was true for many antebellum buildings, the workmen were also skilled slaves." Illinois Central Railroad Depot at 201 East Main Street, St. Mark's Episcopal Church at 205 West Main Street,
