Property Description
STEP INTO A REMARKABLE PIECE OF YAZOO COUNTY HISTORY WITH THIS BEAUTIFULLY DISTINCTIVE 1891 QUEEN ANNE VICTORIAN HOME, LOCATED ON THE HISTORIC GRAND AVENUE IN YAZOO CITY, MISSISSIPPI. Known as the Payne-Seward House, 118 Grand Avenue offers something rarely found in today’s market: more than a century of history, exceptional architectural character, and a story deeply woven into the history of Yazoo City. Originally built for A. M. Payne, the home was designed by Elijah E. Myers, a nationally recognized 19th-century architect whose distinguished work includes the state capitol buildings of Michigan, Texas, and Colorado. That architectural pedigree makes this residence an especially significant example of historic residential architecture in Mississippi. From its striking corner turret and bay windows to its expansive wraparound porch and intricate Victorian detailing, the 3,350± square foot home, situated on 0.72± acres, showcases the craftsmanship and character of a bygone era. These are the kinds of architectural details and proportions that simply cannot be replicated in today’s new construction. 118 Grand Avenue presents a rare opportunity to own and restore a property that is not simply a house but a tangible piece of Mississippi history. Whether you’re an architectural enthusiast,
preservation-minded buyer, investor, or someone with a passion for historic homes, this residence offers a combination of character, provenance, and significance that cannot be replicated. The vision is yours. The history is already here. Bring your plans, your imagination, and your vision to 118 Grand Avenue and give this remarkable historic residence the restoration it deserves.
