The Sims House at 513 N. State St. in Jackson, Mississippi is significant as one of the last surviving Queen Anne style houses on the state capitol's "Grand Boulevard". Following construction of the state's Beaux-Arts style capitol building in 1903, North State Street developed as a tree-lined avenue of homes of state leaders. Notable Mississippi native Dr. Walter Scott Sims, who was the state's first eye, ear, nose and throat specialist and who was a pioneer in eye cataract surgery, bought the property from Joseph Henry Morris in 1905. The house was built in c. 1905 for Sims.
