The Houses of Edwards, Mississippi

This is the second part of my photo tour of Edwards, Mississippi. If you would like to read the first chapter, A Place Called Edwards, Mississippi, you can click on the link.

Today, I am featuring pictures of some of the old houses in Edwards. This first house is a beautiful antebellum Victorian-style house perched high on a hill overlooking "downtown Edwards." It is called the A. J. Lewis house, but, unfortunately, I could not find any information on its history.

Closeup of the side porch ...

I did a double take when I saw this house, or actually, when I saw the little Snow White and Seven Dwarfs figures lining the sidewalk.

It looked as if Snow White was giving them an etiquette lesson on how to properly greet visitors.

This old house had to be a beauty when it was in its prime, but, sadly, it has fallen into disrepair.

I love its lacy "gingerbread" trim ...

And the pretty columns on the front porch ...

Just down the street is another faded old beauty.

I love the "homey" look of this house, with its picket fence and hanging baskets welcoming visitors.

This house sits at the foot of the bridge, on the opposite side from the stately Victorian on the hill. I wish that old oak tree could talk. It looks as if it has been there a very long time.

And last, but not least, is this pretty house with green shutters lining its double verandas. Notice the different size windows across the front porch.

I love exploring little towns like Edwards. You never know what treasures you might find, especially the old houses like these that are "off the beaten path."

And speaking of treasures, I almost forgot this one, which looks like it is in the process of being restored. I love its lights, and can picture their beams bouncing across a cotton field at dusk, after a hard day's work.
