The Dupree-Ratliff House is located at 101 Dupree Street. The house, built in 1859 in the Italianate-Greek-Revival style of architecture, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.

The house was built by Dr. H. T. T. Dupree, a medical doctor in Raymond, for his bride, Elizabeth Margaret (Lizzie) Fairchild. The lumber to build the house was a gift from her father, John A. Fairchild, who owned the first sawmill in the area. The lumber chosen for the house was heart pine. The most beautiful feature of the interior of the house is the “Gone with the Wind” spiral staircase.

In 1863, following the Battle of Raymond, the house was used as a Union hospital. The furniture was thrown out into the yard in order to spread cotton bales throughout the house and provide bedding for the wounded soldiers.

In 1877, Dr. Dupree agreed to trade his house and dry goods store for 1,100 acres of land located five miles west of Raymond. In 1878, C.C. Heard took possession of the Raymond house while Dr. Dupree moved out into the country.

From 1890 until 1915, the house was used as the Raymond Graded School. One of the teachers in the school was Miss Mary Ratliff. In 1915, the house was purchased by W. T. Ratliff, a Confederate veteran who served with the 1st Mississippi Light Artillery. Captain and Mrs. Ratliff were highly respected in the Raymond community.

In 1968, Dr. and Mrs. E. E. Thrash purchased the historic home and have enjoyed discovering its history.
