== Background ==
The Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar House, also known as Lucius Q. C. Lamar House is a site significant for its association with Lucius Quintus Cincinnatus Lamar II, who lived there while a Congressman and U.S. cabinet member. Lamar was active in U.S. national politics but resigned from Congress in January 1861. He wrote the Mississippi Secession Ordinance and served in the Civil War as a cavalry officer. Lamar became a Congressman again in 1872 and later became Secretary of the Interior and then a justice on the Supreme Court. He opposed civil rights legislation, promoted industrial progress, and "symbolized the South's regained political respectability."〔George R. Adams (1974) "(National Register of Historic Places-Lamar House )". National Park Service.〕
