It's here! The long awaited coffee table book featuring 47 beautiful antebellum homes and cottages of Columbus.

"Columbus boasts one of the most impressive collections of historic houses in the state of Mississippi. The city also enjoys the benefit of a strong and committed community of preservationists, who ensure that these beautiful homes are preserved and protected. Sylvia Higginbotham and Mark Coffey have captured the rich history and great beauty of Columbus in this fine new book."

-Elbert R. Hilliard, Director
Mississippi Department of Archives and History

Sylvia Higginbotham is an author of books and plays and a freelance writer of articles and videos. A recent book, Marvelous Old Mansions and Other Southern Treasures, features selected historic homes in a nine-state area of the South/Southeast.

Mark Coffey developed his passion for photography in Natchez, his hometown, surely one of the most photographed towns in America.
