Summary

Significance: The McLaran mansion in Columbus, Mississippi, is an exceptional Greek Revival residence. Riverview's design, craftsmanship, and construction materials are of the highest order. The interior of the mansion is extraordinary, with its superior and extensive decorative plasterwork, grand oval spiral stair that ascends three floors, fine woodwork, and innovative floor plan. These features have few peers in their stylistic context. Riverview's high degree of integrity is also remarkable and adds to the significance of this property. Built from 1847 to 1853, Riverview is situated on a 1-acre parcel in Columbus, Mississippi.
