Surveyor Hamilton Mask, one of Corinth's founders, built this Greek Revival home in 1857, and by about 1862 it was known as the Verandah House because of its porches. During the war, when high-ranking officers customarily occupied private homes as dwellings and headquarters, both Union and Confederate officers used the house, and in 1862 it was occupied at different times by Gen. Braxton Bragg, CSA, Gen. John B. Hood, CSA, and Gen. Henry W. Halleck, USA. William P. Curlee bought the property in 1875, and except for minor changes it appears much as it did in 1862.
