Built by W.L. Duncan shortly before the Battle of Corinth, this five-room frame house originally stood on Jackson Street around the corner from its present site. Although several remodelings gave it a newer appearance than in a 19th century sketch, its original form can still be recognized, and it is being restored. Confederate General Pierre G.T. Beauregard used it as his headquarters in 1862 until moving to the Fish Pond House after the Battle of Shiloh. Union General William Rosecrans is thought to have occupied the dwelling for a time before taking command of the Army of the Cumberland.
