5071 Hwy 48 West , Mccomb, MS 39648(Pike County)

Built in 1811, this 208-year-old house has stood the test of time as well as hurricanes Betsy, Camille and Katrina! Built by Henry Quin, son of early Pike County settlers Peter & Judith Quin, & grandfather of US Congressman Percy Quin. Percy Quin State Park was named in his honor & at least part of the park was once owned by the Quin family. The old two-story home of colonial style is built of large hewn timbers with a foundation of huge logs. The lumber was sawed by a water power mill on the Tangipahoa River. The ceiling & siding were dressed by hand. It's the first two story frame house built in Pike County, also the first painted. (Clarion Ledger 12-31-1937)" Today the home has been modernized to include new plumbing, central air & heat, but retains so much of its original charm including a beautiful mantle in the family room that was meticulously carved with a penknife! Historical & functional! Additional 109 adjoining acres is also available! Call today for more info!
