The Veranda House, also known as the Curlee House, is a historic house in Corinth, Mississippi, U.S..
The house was built in 1857 for Hamilton Mask, a surveyor who went on to serve as the mayor of Corinth in 1866 and 1872.[1] In 1860, it was sold to Burnett B. Wilkerson, who sold it to William Simonton shortly after.[1] Simonton remained the property owner until 1872.[1]
During the American Civil War of 1861–1865, General Braxton Bragg of the Confederate States Army stayed in the house, as did Confederate General Earl Van Dorn.[1] Later, General Henry Halleck of the Union Army also stayed in the house.[1]
The house was purchased by Judge William E. Curlee in 1875.[1] His widow, Mary Boone Curlee, sold the house outside the family in 1882.[1] By 1921, it was purchased by William Curlee's descendant, Shelby Hammond Curlee.[1] In 1960–1963, the house was deeded to the Corinth Library Commission.[1]
The house was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.[1] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 22, 1975.[2]
