Elson-Dudley House
The Elson-Dudley House is a historic home located at 1101 29th Avenue, Meridian, Mississippi. Built in 1894 by Julius and Dora Neubauer Elson, some of Meridian's earliest settlers,[2] the home is a Victorian Eastlake movement home with Queen Anne influence. The home was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on December 18, 1979, under the Meridian Multiple Property Submission.[1] It is also part of Merrehope Historic District, which was listed on the National Register on September 19, 1988. It is currently a private residence.[3] The "pink house", as it is known locally, prominently features pedimented gables, a front veranda with a corner, conical-roofed turret, and a conical roofed tower. The front porch features turned balusters with center beads and the multi-panel entrance door is headed by a stained glass transom. The 5,000 sq ft (465 m2), 16-room mansion sits on a 29,620.8 sq ft (0.68 acres) lot and takes up half of a city block. The Elson-Dudley house contains four bedrooms and two and a half bathrooms. The house holds ten fireplaces, five chimneys, a grand staircase, and sports an asymmetrical facade.[4] External linksReferences
