The Meek-Hillerman-Steele House (Circa 1866) 310 South Natchez Street, Kosciusko, Mississippi The Meek-Hillerman-Steele House, built circa 1866, is one of Kosciusko's finest postbellum residences. Originally constructed as a one-story home, it served as a family dwelling for nearly a century. During an extensive renovation in the late 1970s, the expansive attic was transformed to create two additional floors, resulting in a spacious home with four bedrooms and two baths. Located along the historic Natchez Trace, this home occupies a site rich in American history. The Trace once served as a major travel route during the War of 1812 and the Civil War. Kosciusko itself was originally known as Red Bud Springs before being renamed to honor Tadeusz Kosciuszko, the famed Polish general of the American Revolutionary War. Inside, the home opens with a gracious entry hall and a beautiful staircase leading to the upper floors. The interior features a formal parlor, dining room, five bedrooms, an office, game room, four bathrooms, a spacious modern kitchen with breakfast area, and a large den with vaulted ceilings and a fireplace. Fine moldings, detailed craftsmanship, and period charm are evident throughout. When the renovation began in the 1970s, architectural elements from across the Southeast were thoughtfully incorporated into the design. Highlights include a spiral staircase purchased from an antique shop in Alabama, originally part of a shipping vessel, and an antique brass dining fixture sourced from New England. Many features also preserve a touch of Kosciusko's past-windows, doors, and mirrors reclaimed from historic local structures such as the old Orleando Hotel. The floors feature cathedral plank wood with a wire-brushed finish and wrought iron nails, adding warmth and authenticity. Nestled on approximately 2.5 acres, the Meek-Hillerman-Steele House is just two blocks south of the Historic Courthouse Square. This distinguished property offers both privacy and proximity to Kosciusko's historic downtown. The Meek-Hillerman-Steele House is a rare opportunity to own a historic landmark that combines period beauty with modern livability. To schedule your private tour, contact United Realty, Inc. today.
