c.1850 Affordable Home For Sale in Yazoo City, MS $49K – Sold

You would never guess that this home is more than 170 years old. Located on a street of lovely older homes, this c.1850 cottage on Yazoo Street was built nine years after the city took its name, one year after the city became the county seat and just 14 before much of the city was destroyed during the US Civil War.

 

History

This home is one of a minority of homes that survived the 1904 fire which destroyed much of central Yazoo City. According to a local legend, a witch, avenging her death, started the fire. In actually, a boy playing with matches accidentally set a house ablaze. Spreading rapidly, three-fourths of the town was destroyed, including most of the homes. It took two years for Yazoo City to recover.
