Link’s Mississippi State Capitol (JM16) commission brought him several smaller projects around the state, including this house for P. M. Harding, president of Delta Trust and Banking Company. Situated on seven landscaped acres surrounded by an iron fence, this is one of the first Tudor-styled houses in the state and features decorative half-timbering above a brick first story, an oriel window on the facade, corbeled chimneys, wide eaves, and carved exposed rafters. The simple columns and dentil cornice on the first story add a classical flavor.
Nearby, the Romanesque Revival William Levy House (1907; 1338 Chambers), designed by local architect Michael J. Donovan, is built of rusticated concrete block, also used to good effect in James J. Lum’s house (c. 1905) across the street at 1333 Chambers.
