Other Amenities Details
A true Southern Mansion with original parterre gardens and a view of the Mississippi. Located in Historic Garden District. It is only fitting that this warm and inviting home, The Corners, is today the setting for many weddings and gala bridal parties. It was built as a wedding gift by John A. Klein for his daughter, Susan, and her husband Isaac Bonham when they married in 1872. The great niece of Susan Klein Bonham, the bride honored by a wedding gift of The Corners, recently presented us with the 130 year old wedding gown and bible of the bride and groom of 1872. The floor plan for The Corners was modeled after the family estate, Cedar Grove, which stands proudly across the street. Bettye and Cliff Whitney bought The Corners in 1985 and transformed the property into the beautiful setting that exists today. Now, their son in law and daughter, Joe Trahan and Macy Whitney, are the Innkeepers. We look forward to greeting you on the verandah with a warm welcome and a cool drink! Built to overlook the majestic Mississippi River, the home today is a popular bed and breakfast inn. It boasts fifteen bedrooms and two suites. The first floor of the mansion affords comfortable common areas for guests to enjoy including a large double parlor, morning room and gallery. The hand pierced columns surrounding the front gallery are unique to Vicksburg and are known in architectural circles as Vicksburg Columns. Built during the period of Reconstruction, the home reflects several architectural styles: Italianate, Classic Revival, and from the front the style of a Southern Louisiana Raised Cottage with its seventy foot elevated gallery. A wonderful vantage point for viewing sunsets over the Mississippi River. Today the Joe and Macy still find excitement in their home, The Corners. We strive to pass this feeling on to our guests, many of whom have returned again and again for another stay.
