Charles M. Huber’s firm, Lotterhos and Huber, pioneered cooperative marketing and shipping arrangements for the area’s vegetable farmers. The south side of his two-and-a-half-story wooden house, with its bay window and two-tiered Corinthian-columned porch, was the original front of the 1893 Queen Anne house. In 1932, Huber obtained four monumental Corinthian columns from Governor Theodore Bilbo, who was renovating his house in Pearl River County, and used them to create a more imposing, albeit off-center entrance on the east (street) front.
George and John Didlake, prominent local contractors, also built the Queen Anne house at 210 Copley Street with its octagonal tower for George W. Copley, president of Crystal Springs Bank.
