The Old Homestead in Aberdeen, Mississippi was built in c.1852. It has also been known as Dr. George Augustus Sykes House and Julian T. Evans House. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1988. The listing includes 2 contributing buildings.^[1]

It is eclectic in style: its design has elements of Greek Revival architecture and also of Gothic Revival architecture. Its dominant feature on its front facade is a two-story portico in the central bay of five bays. The portico is decorated by pierced archivolts with pendants between its two columns and between the columns and matching pilasters on the house.^[2]

A barn on the property was, as of 1988, the only high style Gothic Revival ancillary building in Aberdeen.^[2]

In 1988 it was still occupied by a descendent, Mary Wallace Crocker, of Dr. George Augustus Sykes, for whom the house was built.^[2]
