Built for attorney William M. Whittington, who served as a U.S. congressman for thirteen terms, and his wife, Anna, this substantial two-story brick house with a green tile roof displays a sophisticated local version of an eclectic style popular in the early twentieth century. Price blended the Prairie Style’s horizontality with robustly interpreted classical elements of Georgian Revival, including tripartite massing, Tuscan columns, modillions, and oversized triglyphs and guttae at the corners. In 1981, Whittington descendants donated the house to the Mississippi Garden Club.
