c. 1855. 2185 Tanglewood Rd.
One of the earliest large houses remaining in Pike County, this two-story, side-gabled Greek Revival farmhouse shares some construction techniques, notably the stepped-base chimneys and small corner block molding embellishments, with 1850s houses in neighboring Amite County. Unusual for Mississippi is its hall-and-parlor plan, with two doors leading onto the porch from the front rooms. Rectangular wooden posts support the double-tiered undercut porch; some original stone foundation piers remain. The dormers are 1940 additions. A log corn crib stands at the rear. Joel Jackson Coney, a farmer born in Georgia, built the house sometime after he and his wife Emeline began acquiring large tracts of Pike County land in 1851.
