The Columns of Tunica
Tunica, Mississippi
The Columns of Tunica is a bed & breakfast located in Tunica.
This Colonial Revival home was begun in 1918 and completed in 1920 by Captain J.W. Henderson, who served as a Captain in the Spanish-American War. He was a lawyer in Tunica and also served in the state legislature. He had served as Superintendent of Schools and pushed for the building of the High School in 1914. He was married and had one adopted daughter. When the depression came along, he lost the house about 1930 and it was taken over by Planter's Bank. Sometime during this time, his wife died. Planters Bank took the home and made it into at least four apartments which were occupied by employees of the bank. Davis Owen. and his wife, Christian, and their baby, Davis, Jr., were living in the house when the fire occurred on October 19, 1997 . The fire started in the attic and completely burned the third floor attic space and roof. Bobby Lee Windham bought the house in 1999 with the intent of restoring it. He had the roof and attic rebuilt and then put the house up for sale in 2001. Renovation was begun in August of 2002 by Antebellum Restoration & Construction from Whiteville , Tennessee . The wiring, plumbing, heat and air conditioning, bathrooms, and wall board have been completely replaced. Extensive leveling work was required and all termite damage and water damage was replaced. They were shocked over the lack of fire damage on the first and second floors. The only explanation is that the house was so well constructed in the first place. The original oak and heart pine floors were stripped and refinished. The original staircase remains, with its hand-twisted mahogany railing.
Local dining options close to The Columns of Tunica include Blue & White Restaurant, and China Garden Of Tunica.
