Inscription.
This brick structure is thought to have been built ca. 1805 as a residence for Samuel Gibson, the founder of Port Gibson. It was moved from its original site to this location in 1980. Typical of the dwellings built during the early settlement of Claiborne County, the four rooms of the house provided living, dining and sleeping quarters for the Gibson family. As constructed originally, a dairy in the basement and a separate outbuilding provided the necessary support facilities.
