Facts and practical information

Isom Place is located at 1003 Jefferson Avenue in Oxford, Mississippi and listed on the National Register of Historic Places. The home was constructed by Thomas Dudley Isom, a physician in Lafayette County. The exact dates of construction are lost, due in part to a lack of records from 1865 to 1883. The earliest version of the structure was a two or three bedroom cabin, but by 1840 Isom used the cabin as a core for the current home. ()
