The Murphey-Jennings House is a historic house in Sumner, Mississippi. It was built in 1904 Smith Murphey II, a planter who owned 26,000 acres of arable land.[2] Murphey was also the owner of a store in Sumner. After he died in 1904, his widow married Hugh Jackson Jennings, a planter and philanthropist who supported the Baptist Memorial Hospital-Memphis.[2] Her second husband died in 1921, and she died in 1962.[2]
The house was designed by Frank R. McGeoy in the Queen Anne and Colonial Revival architectural styles.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 25, 1982.[1]
