McEwen, one of the earliest settlers in Marshall County and the man who gave Holly Springs its name, built Featherston Place 1837. In 1902, Featherston was renovated by architect Theodore Link, the designer of the Mississippi State Capitol. Link added Georgian architectural features to the home to complement neighboring Polk Place, which Featherston Place shares a circular driveway with. His design enclosed the lower level and added additional porches and a sunroom. A detached house with 2 rooms and a kitchen could be restored into a rental property or mother-in-law suite. There is a 2-car carport attached to the second house, with an entrance off Johnson Park. Featherston Place has been home to many families throughout the years and it has been lovingly restored to its former beauty since 2020.Located in the heart of Holly Springs, this historic home offers a unique opportunity to own a piece of local history.
