Spires Boling

[1] He is also remembered for his grand, columned, neoclassical residential buildings and his design for the Marshall County, Mississippi Courthouse in Holly Springs.

The Walter Place mansion he designed was home to Ulysses S. Grant and his wife for a period during the American Civil War.

[5] According to local preservationist Phillip Knecht, he also designed Montrose (Holly Springs, Mississippi) (1858) Athenia (1858), Wakefield (1858), and Pointer House (c. 1858 and eventually demolished).

[3] Before it was converted into an armory for the production and repair of guns, the Jones, McElwain and Company Iron Foundry in Holly Springs produced wrought iron adornments including gates and fittings that were used in some of the area's grand homes such as Boling's.

[2] In 2018 a monument was added to his gravesite at Hillcrest Cemetery by Hubert McAlexander, a historian, author, and emeritus professor of literature at the University of Georgia.
