Blum House, also known as Levy House, is a historic residence built in 1902 in Vicksburg, Mississippi, United States. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since July 30, 1992;[1] and part of the Uptown Vicksburg Historic District since 1993.[2]
The Blum House was built in 1902, for Theresa Bloom Blum (1859–1933), spouse of Solomon Blum (1848–1903), a Jewish merchant from Delhi, Louisiana.[3] It was designed by Theodore C. Link, German-born American architect known for designing the Mississippi State Capitol.[4]
It is as a two-story, clapboard with a slate-covered, truncated hipped roof. The two-story portico has an oval window in the tympanum and is supported by four slender Ionic columns. The Blum House derives its significance for the NRHP listing from the architecture, it being one of the best examples of the Neoclassical Revival style in Vicksburg.
The house is included on the historic marker for Cherry Street, on the Vicksburg Heritage Walking Trail.[5]
