Historic Greenwood Landmark
Step into history with the W.M. Whittington House, a c.1915 neo-classic prairie-style masterpiece situated on 1.08 private, fenced acres in the heart of Greenwood. Designed by renowned architect Bem Price and commissioned by Senator Whittington, this 5,550 sq. ft. home is recognized as a Mississippi Landmark and is listed on the National Register of Historical Places.
Featured in movies The Help and Women of the Cause, this grand residence captivates with its beveled windows, intricate woodwork, and stunning architectural details. Upon entering, you are greeted by an original French pier mirror in the open foyer, which leads to an elegant staircase and second-floor mezzanine.
The first floor boasts a formal dining room with a second pier mirror, an atrium illuminated by authentic Tiffany lighting, and a grand ballroom featuring a French crystal chandelier and 8-ft mantel. The west wing offers a cozy living room with a working gas fireplace and custom built-ins, as well as a climate-controlled sunroom that welcomes you under the columned portico. The spacious kitchen includes a butler's pantry and a secondary staircase, leading to additional storage and a large laundry room. A charming breakfast room bathed in natural light and a half bath complete the main level.
Upstairs, the second floor features a mezzanine, four extra-large bedrooms, two full baths, a bonus room or office, and another sunroom—currently used as an exercise space. The third floor offers an additional 1,764 sq. ft. of open space, providing endless possibilities for expansion.
With ample parking and a layout perfect for gracious entertaining, this historic home is ideal as a private residence or a B&B. Own a one-of-a-kind piece of Greenwood's history—schedule your tour today!
