Dr. Isham G. Bailey House, also known as Cedar Lane Farm, is a historic cottage in Lamar, Mississippi, United States.
The house is located at 1577 Early Grove Road in Lamar, a small town in Marshall County, Mississippi. [2] [3] It is surrounded by 844 acres of land on the property, including some acres in Fayette County, Tennessee, an adjacent county. [3]
The land upon which the house was built originally belonged to the Chickasaw Nation. [3] In the 1830s, it was acquired by two land speculators, Thomas Mull and Samuel Reeves. [3]
By the early 1840s, the two speculators sold it to Dr Isham G. Bailey (1813-1885), a "prominent doctor and planter" from Lincoln County, Tennessee. [3] The house was built for Bailey from 1842 to 1855. [3] However, some sources suggest the speculators may have sold the land to a first owner in the 1840s, who built the house in 1842 and sold it to Bailey in the 1850s. [3] Either way, the house was designed as a hip roofed cottage in the Greek Revival and Italianate architectural styles. [3]
Bailey lived in the house with his wife, Susan Bird Bailey (1822-1864), their two sons, Neal T. Bailey and Cullen R. Bailey, and two daughters, Elizabeth and Nancy. [3] Bailey also owned African slaves, who are buried in Bailey Cemetery. [3] After the American Civil War, Bailey's slaves became sharecroppers on the property. [4]
When Bailey died in 1885, the house was inherited by his brother-in-law William M. Parr, husband of Bailey's sister Louisa (1832-1892). [3] Later, it was inherited by their daughter, Jennie Parr, and their granddaughter, Mrs Boyd Burnette. [3] The house was used as a summer retreat owned by the Bailey family until 1985. [3]
The house was acquired by James K. Dobbs, III in 1985. [3] Dobbs remodelled the house. [3]
The house has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since August 30, 2001. [2]
