About The Parish Carriage House
The Parish Carriage House was built in 1892 in Calvert for merchant, cotton buyer, and banker L. H. Parish and his wife Mattie, following mail-order plans by architect George Franklin Barber. Its ground floor housed horses, carriages, and a tack and feed room, while the driver's living quarters occupied the second floor. It reflected the prosperity of Calvert's cotton-trading elite.
HISTORY HAPPENED HERE at The Parish Carriage House
In 1892 wealthy merchant, cotton buyer, and banker L. H. Parish (1846-1924) and his wife Mattie bought this property. Soon they erected this carriage house with ornate Victorian styling to match their home. Plans for both structures came from the mail order catalogue of noted architect George Franklin Barber (1854-1915). The first floor was designed to house the bay horses, elegant carriages and also a tack and feed room. The driver's living quarters were on the second floor. Incise in base: Sponsored by Walker R.
