Built in circa. 1910 for Vicksburg businessman E.C. Neill, this landmark residence stands along the grounds of Vicksburg National Military Park -- one of America's most significant Civil War sites, where the Union's 1863 Siege of Vicksburg turned the tide of the war. Original solid cypress beams, a brick-floor foyer, soaring floor-to-ceiling windows, and dual wood-burning fireplaces have endured more than a century without apology.
The kitchen and keeping room have been thoughtfully renovated with Sub-Zero and Viking appliances and a dry bar -- modern precision in a frame of irreplaceable craft. The primary suite commands private dual bathrooms and a deck overlooking the beautiful estate, park-adjacent grounds.
The lower level houses the Eisenhower Suite -- documented by a signed letter, dated July 7, 1947, written by General Dwight D. Eisenhower on official U.S. Army letterhead following his stay here as Neill's personal guest. The letter -- still framed on the suite's wall -- references the bridge games, the $1.70 he lost, and his hope to return. It is signed: Dwight D. Eisenhower. The suite includes a full living area, kitchenette, bedroom, and private bath.
