Newberger. Leooold. House Name of Property

Yalobusha Countv. Mississippi County and State

The Leopold Newberger House at 714 Depot Street, in Coffeeville, Yalobusha County, Mississippi, is a locally significant example of a Gothic Revival style house with ltalianate and Eastlake ornamentation. The house retains a high degree of architectural detailing and represents the influence of the Picturesque Movement in American residential architecture. Built in 1870·1875, this one-story, wood frame, centered gable house is characterized by its Gothic Revival composition. The house features multiple gables on the side elevations giving it a complex roof structure. Also located on the property is a contributing double pen, one-story, weatherboard outbuilding.

The eclectically styled Newberger House is situated on a lot near the downtown core of Coffeeville. It is surrounded on three sides by residences, two of which are brick ranches, the other a pyramidal roof cottage, and a church on the fourth. An expanse of lawn covers much of the lot. Hedges line the front, north side, of the house and extend well beyond it, establishing a division of the lot into a public and private space. A collection of trees provides additional landscaping.

On the north facade, an ornate, north-oriented, decorative gable crowns the roof. According to A Field Guide to American Houses (McAlester and McAlester 1990), this type of gable roof is characteristic of Gothic Revival architecture while the paired brackets adorning the eaves are reminiscent of ltalianate and Eastlake architecture. The gable peak displays a distinctive finial. A medallion-shaped ventilator with floral scrollwork motifs, which is faced by a circular wood cover, additionally adorns the gable.

The fenestration of the north facade is symmetrically composed with a central entry way and two flanking 6/6 double hung sash windows on either side. Fanciful in its design, the entry is recessed and fronted by a slender, basket arch with stilted arch and responses. A four-panel wood door, two of the panels of which have arch motifs echoing those of the entry, is flanked by wood and glass paneled sidelights and surmounted by a transom. Extending across the bays of the house is a richly detailed hip roof porch. An intricate molding with geometric motifs serves as a wrap around cornice. Cornice and roof rest atop lively square columned porch supports with pouncedwork capitals. Stylized cross motifs decorate the shafts and bases of the porch supports. Balustrades composed of pouncedwork extend between the columns. Wood boards form the floor of the porch. The entire house rests on a group of brick piers.

Crowning the west elevation of the Newberger House are two gables. Decorative paired brackets line the eaves of the roof. A medallion·s¥.ped ventilator with floral scrollwork motifs, which is faced by a circular wood cover, punctuates each of the two gables. The fenestration of the west elevation consists of four 6/6 double hung sash windows encased in plain wood surrounds. The northern most window is fitted with a pair of louvered wood shutters while the other three windows are sans shutters.

A kitchen with a cross gable roof projects off the south elevation of the Newberger House. Inset into the west side of the room is a partially screened porch. A wood-panel door cut into the west wall permits passage between the porch and kitchen. Three 4/4 double hung sash windows with plain

surrounds constitute the fenestration of the south elevation. A single 4/4 double hung sash window and 6/6 double hung sash window pierce the east and north walls of the kitchen. respectively.

The east elevation of the eclectically styled residence is similar to that of the west side, but with a few differences. The medallion-shaped ventilator of the north em most gable is exposed. This side of the house features two projecting rooms. One of the rooms has a hip roof that ties into the main roof while the other has a shed roof. The shed roof room is punctuated by a six pane window and four-panel wood door. and the hip roof projection by a 6/6 double hung sash window. Judging by the window and door types and siding, the projection was built in the early twentieth century.

An exquisitely paneled hall forms the core of the Newberger House. Arch motifs reminiscent of the front facade entry are carved into the wood wall panels; those of the ceiling display central tondos with floral images embedded in a sea of parallel lines. In contrast, the wood floorboards are quite plain in appearance. A series of four-paneled wood doors on either side of the hall lead to rooms.

On the west side of the hall are arranged three rooms. Given the presence of a large, paneled wood, pocket door in the south wall, the northwest room must have functioned as public space, either a parlor or diningroom. The walls and ceiling of the room are covered with wallpaper. Flush wood boards form the floor covering . Gouge work casing frames the pocket door, which leads to the middle room.

The middle room functioned as another public space such as a dining room. The walls and ceiling of the room are covered with wallpaper. Flush wood boards form the floor covering. A doorway with a transom and fluted surrounds in the southwest corner of this room leads to a bathroom, which is ensconced in the west portion of the southwest room. The style of the paneled wood doors and treatment suggest that the bathroom was created in the early twentieth century. Adjacent the bathroom is a mantel framed with paneled trim.

On the east side of the hall are three more rooms. The small interior four paneled-wood doors connecting these rooms suggest they functioned as private spaces such as bedrooms and a studyt1ibrary. Cut into the east wall of the northeast room is a doorway with a transom which leads to a small ante room and ultimately the east elevation addition. Similarly, two openings (sans transoms) in the east wall of the middle room provide ingress/egress to and from the addition. The floor. wall , and ceiling materials of the three east side rooms are similar to those on the west side of the hall. Each of these rooms features a mantel with paneled surrounds. A door punctuating the east wall of the southeast room permits interior passage to the kitchen. Wrth its sparsity of cabinets and appliances. the kitchen hardly represents such.

Some yards south of the Newberger House stands an associated double pen. Topped by a side gable roof of standing seam metal and clad with weatherboards, the tenant dwelling has a four bay facade on its north elevation. Two interior doors. one per pen, are flanked on their other side by a window. Both roof and floor of the porch are in serious stages of deterioration.

Although the overall character of the Newberger House has changed little since its days in the limelight, it has been the subject of a few modernizations. The chimneys, which were originally intended for wood consumption, were converted to gas in the the waning decades of the late nineteenth century. A Mississippi Residential Property Record Card kept on file at the Yalobusha County Courthouse indicates that a garage was built on the property in 1920. That same year, the house was converted from gas to electricity. Some time between 1920 and the present, the garage was demolished.

Yalobusha Countv. Mississippi County and State

Built in 1870, the Newberger House is locally significant under Criterion C for its embodiment of the Gothic Revival vocabulary with Italian ate and Eastlake details. The Newberger House is a remarkable example of the Picturesque Movement in architecture characterized by the many different stylistic details. The exterior elevations, interior spaces, and ornamentation retain a remarkably high degree of integrity. The residence creates a favorable impression of period fancy with its array of ornamentation, which includes steeply pitched roofs, paired brackets, medallion-shaped ventilators. a finial . pouncedwork balustrades, squared columns porch supports, carved wood panels, and decorative interior door and window treatments. Although there are other examples of Late Victorian architecture in Coffeeville, the historic fabric and stylistic detailing of the Newberger House is rarely matched. Additionally, the doublepen, which retains a fairly high degree of integrity, contributes to the architectural significance of the property as it is representative of its respective structural type.

In the mid-nineteenth century, the Picturesque Movement defined American architectural styles. In Mississippi, drawing from popular styles of the day, houses incorporated romantic Gothic, ltalianate ornamentation. There are a number of residences designed in this matter that are located throughout north Mississippi. Short's Hill, a two-story, picturesque ltalianate residence (National Register 1980), the Ballentine-Seay House, a two-story, elaborately embellished residence. and the Walton-Howry House. a one-story, cross gabled house (National Register 1984 ), all of which are located in Panola County and are the work of renowned architect Andrew Johnson (1844-1921 ), standout among these examples. With its exquisite Romantic period detailing, the Newberger House compares favorably to the architecture of Andrew Johnson. Johnson was known to have worked in a number of Yalobusha County towns, including Water Valley and Oakland. The Newberger House may very well be attributed to him ; however, this association has not been conclusively proven.

The history of the Leopold Newberger House is inextricably linked with that of its original owner Leopold Newberger. Newberger, an immigrant from Felheim, Bavaria, Germany, arrived in Philadelphia (Pennsylvania) in 1840 seeking opportunities (Coffeeville Courier 1996). Born in 1824, the sixteen year old then made his way to Grenada, Mississippi via stage. There he apprenticed himself to his Uncle William Tanner, who owned a mercantile enterprise (Yalobusha County Historical Society 1982). Leopold literally learned the business from the bottom up, selling his uncle's wares door to door throughout the region .

In 1842 Leopold Newberger was encouraged to bring his business acumen to Coffeeville. The young merchant rented a business house and filled it with as many goods as his meager savings allowed. In a short time, Newberger managed to parlay these nominal assets into one of Coffeeville's leading businesses (Coffeeville Courier 1982).

Having established himself in Coffeeville, Newberger turned his attention to courtship ; he married Esther Uchtenslader, the daughter of of a Frankfurt, Germany university professor. in 1856. The

Newberger's home, built circa 1870, befitted a couple of social prominence. Its sophisticated design derived from what was then the most current and up to date architectural fashion sweeping the nation. The exquisite detailing of the house marked its occupants as people of high cultural refinement. True to its symbolic import, the Newberger home served as the focal point of Coffeeville's social scene as the Newberger's frequently entertained leading dignitaries and the elite from near and afar (Yalobusha County 1982). The home was also the scene of a great deal of domestic activity as Leopold and Esther raised fourteen children, a number of whom would follow in their father's footsteps.

The Newberger Company enjoyed no less a status in the business district of Coffeeville, which extended along the Mississippi Central Railroad (later the Illinois Central). Newberger's store and livestock barn occupied a large percentage of the downtown real estate (Yalobusha County 1982). In addition to dealing in general merchandise and livestock, Leopold Newberger was a dominant cotton broker in northern Mississippi. The Newberger Company bought cotton at all stops along the Illinois Central (Yalobusha County 1982).

In the early 1860s, Newberger took a hiatus from his Coffeeville business and concentrated on the cotton market in New Orleans, leaving the home office in the capable hands of his sons. Leopold returned to Coffeeville in 1868 and established another business in nearby Oakland (Yalobusha County 1982). Additionally, the Newberger Company was well respected in the Memphis business community.

After his wife died in 1885, Leopold Newberger retired to Louisville, Kentucky where he remained until his death. The Newberger empire, however, did not miss a beat at the Newberger Brothers, a partnership formed by several of Leopold and Esther's sons, maintained the family business. The beloved home of their father and mother remained in the family for a number of years and continued to be a center piece in Coffeeville's social and architectural milieu.

According to Deed Book 70, Page 272, Thomas Dawkins acquired the house in 1965. Dawkins sold the Newberger House to the First Baptist Church in 1991 as recorded in Deed Book 50, Page 73. The church has used the house for storage since 1991 . However, the fine state of preservation and high degree of architectural integrity currently retained by the house evokes memories of its auspicious past.
