GLEN AUBURN

-A A +A
1873. 300 S. Commerce St.

This house, Mississippi’s grandest Second Empire residence, is crowned by a concave mansard roof with patterned slate shingles, metal cresting, and dormers and features a prominent central tower with paired and triple windows, a one-story porch, and a side bay window. Built for Bavarian immigrant Christian Schwartz and his wife, Susannah, the house symbolizes the wealth of the new merchant class that supplanted the antebellum planter class in affluence and influence after the Civil War.
