Lee House in Batesville, Mississippi was built in 1888. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[1]
It was deemed significant as it is "the only Andrew Johnson residence in Batesville and is an excellent example of his ornamented L-shape cottage style."[2]
It is a one-story ornamented cottage with a three-bay gallery with an intricate balustrade. It has irregular massing and fenestration, and a steep roof which is emphasized by a projecting pavilion. Paired and single brackets are used to support a cornice, and single brackets support the shallow eaves of the main roofline.[2]
