This one-story planter’s cottage with brick end chimneys has a finely crafted Federal style entrance with pilasters supporting a delicate semielliptical fanlight. The full-width undercut gallery on sturdy paneled boxed columns shelters a front wall finished with flushboard rather than the clapboard of the sides, a common antebellum detail that marks the porch as an outdoor parlor. This is the only remaining residence associated with German jeweler Elias Von Seutter, who lived here from 1859 to 1862 and later became a noted photographer and documenter of Jackson’s late-nineteenth century development.
Across the street at 101 Dupree, the Dupree-Ratliff House (1859), a one-and-a-half-story clapboard planter’s cottage, features a Greek Revival entrance, Italianate brackets, Gothic-paneled columns, and paneling under the three-bay flat-roofed porch.
