The Brownrigg-Harris-Kennebrew House (also known as Temple Heights) is a historic house in Columbus, Lowndes County, Mississippi.
Location
It is located at 515 9th Street North in Columbus, Mississippi.[2][3][4]
Overview
It was built in 1837 for General Richard T. Brownrigg (1793-1841), a wealthy planter who moved from Chowan County, North Carolina to Columbus, Mississippi in 1835.[3][4] The architectural style is at once Federal and Greek Revival.[2] It was built in the Federal style, as evident from the facade and the interior.[4] After Brownrigg died, it was purchased by Thomas Harris in 1841.[4] In 1854, a Doric portico was added.[3] It was then purchased by the Fontaines, followed by the Kinnebrews (who owned it from 1887 to 1965), and finally the Butlers, who purchased it in 1967 and restored it.[4]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since May 22, 1978.[2][3] It is open for tours as a house museum on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.[4]
