The Lion and Harp at Oak Knoll

The house was built by Mr. Joseph Meyer, a prominent local businessman in 1890. Originally located at 619 30th Avenue and Harris Street in the city, the house had been boarded up and empty for nearly 30 years when Mr. and Mrs Joseph Yarbrough purchased it in the mid 1970s. The home was disassembled, relocated to the present site and reconstructed. Its now located on ten partially landscaped, but mostly wooded acres of Mississippi countryside in the northwest area of Meridian. The task was completed in 1975.
