Series 2969: Manship House Museum Files. 1977-2019.
Collection Summary: Manship House Museum files transferred to the archives in 2022 after the museum’s indefinite closure. The house was built in 1857 and is a rare example of Gothic Revival architecture in the South. Charles Henry Manship (1812-1895) was the mayor of Jackson during the Civil War, an ornamental painter and grainer, and was active in community affairs in Jackson throughout his life. Four generations of Manships owned the property continuously until it was acquired by the state in 1975. The house is interpreted to the year 1888, when Charles and Adaline Manship celebrated their fiftieth wedding anniversary.
Access Restrictions: Access to architectural drawings of state buildings is limited. Application for access, with justification, must be submitted to the Head of the Archives and Library Division or the Director of the Department of Archives and History.
