This is the Duncan House, at 810 Polk Street. This wood frame house was built in 1860, and was originally sited on Jackson Street. The home was built for William L. Duncan, in the Greek Revival style. The deep eaves, with paired brackets, suggests an Italianate influence. The roof of the porch is supported by boxed posts. Confederate General P.G.T. Beauregard used this house as a temporary headquarters, in 1862. At another point in the war, the Union General William Rosencrans may have used the home.Galleries:Corinth, Greek Revival, Views of Houses, ExteriorKeywords:boxed posts, corinth, duncan house, eaves, greek revival, house, mississippi, paired brackets, pediment, wooden bracketsPhoto Location: Corinth, MississippiPhotographer: Dr. Roy WinkelmanDate of Photo: 10/31/2011Device Make: CanonDevice Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark IIExposure Time: 0.01F Number: 5.6Original Dimensions: 5616×3744Picture Orientation: LandscapeGPS Coordinates: 34°56'03.32"N 88°31'20.17"WPicture Number: 20710
