About the Stone Turret Home

The Stone Turret Home holds a special place in our hearts. Over 20 years ago, we purchased this house to raise our three daughters, drawn to its ideal location and spacious design. With four bedrooms and four bathrooms, it was the perfect home for our growing family. Most importantly, it was right across the street from Lucy’s mother, allowing us to stay close to family.

As our youngest daughter left for college, we realized the home was more space than we needed, so we downsized and moved into Lucy’s mother’s former home, which includes a two-bedroom, two-bath apartment—right across the street. If you need anything during your stay, we’re just a moment away.

We love this neighborhood for its central location. Less than a mile from downtown, it’s a direct route to the Keith City Sports Complex, conveniently close to shopping and restaurants, and perfectly positioned in the heart of Vicksburg. We hope you enjoy it as much as we do!

The Unique Charm of the Stone Turret Home

The Stone Turret Home is truly one of Vicksburg’s most distinctive properties. Although its exterior appears to be made of stone, it is actually constructed from molded concrete blocks designed to mimic natural stone. This architectural style is rare but can be found in a handful of other homes throughout the city.

What makes this home special are the charming details that have stood the test of time. We love its round turret, intricate molding, parquet floors, and grand staircase. Throughout the years, the home has undergone multiple renovations and, at one point, was converted into apartments. You may even notice hints of its former layout during your stay.

Built in 1890, the Stone Turret predates modern indoor plumbing and kitchens, which were later integrated in keeping with the era. Some original plumbing and structural elements remain, giving the home its historic character. We appreciate your understanding of these vintage features.

The home originally had both a central and a back staircase, though the latter was removed before we purchased the property. The grand central staircase still plays a unique role in the home’s airflow. During the winter, heat naturally rises, making the upstairs consistently warm, while the downstairs can be cooler. To ensure your comfort, we provide gas fireplaces, and we’re happy to assist with them.

We hope you enjoy the history, character, and warmth of the Stone Turret Home as much as we do!
