2020 Oak Street
At least according to the Mississippi Department of Archives and History.
Some of the buildings in the background may still be there along Washington street, after looking at Bing bird's eye view.
"During the late war, Grant shelled the house for three weeks, thinking it was Pemberton’s headquarters, but Providence held a protecting hand over and about the beautiful home, and but one shell touched it."
You can find more history and architectural plans of the house over at Preservation in Mississippi.
