Having been born in Clarksdale but raised in Tallahatchie County on a farm, Magical Madge has vivid memories of her trips to the Delta town with her mother. Invariably, they would drive down the main boulevard, West Second Street, where all the big, pretty houses were located. Madge would crane her neck every single time looking for that amazing home on the corner with the huge carport. She imagined what it would be like if she could go inside.
In 2010, her dream became a reality when Magical Madge and Chilly Billy Howell had the opportunity to purchase what was known as the Wegener home, and now lovingly called The Clarksdale White House. (CWH)
After most of their five children had grown and moved away, the couple decided to convert their primary residence into a B & B of sorts. Having already converted the back Guest House into an overnight accommodation in 2012, they began renting out the bedrooms in the CWH, each with private baths, to visitors from all over the world.
It gives Madge great pleasure to connect with her guests, ensuring their positive experience while staying in Clarksdale. Providing guests with clean, large and private accommodations with a personal touch of Southern hospitality and character from Madge, as well as a complimentary self-serve continental breakfast and snacks, free covered private parking and a private backyard garden, sets stays in the Clarksdale White House apart from any other place.

Honey Room
Staying in The Honey Room will make you feel like you are in a cocoon of tranquility.
The spacious room is enveloped with ochre-honey velvet curtains, a king-size Tempur-pedic bed, soft down pillows, a luxurious couch and sitting area, a large brass chandelier, tasteful and eclectic décor, huge closets plus a private bathroom that will meet all your needs and then some.
Ochre is Madge’s favorite color and you will see her wearing it often. She decided to christen the main master bedroom as The Honey Room for many reasons.
Magical Madge is partial to the name “Honey.” Her namesake grandmother, Madge Saunders Thornton, was lovingly called “Honey” and now that Magical is a new grandmother, she has adopted the same term of endearment for her grandchildren.
The Honey Room provides divine bliss in a space you will long remember.

Red is the featured décor coloration in The East Room, and is beautifully enhanced by the large, original watercolor by John Ruskey called “Heart of the Mississippi Delta.” The Town of Clarksdale is designated with a splash of crimson as are other significant Delta towns: Cleveland, Rosedale, Greenville, Indianola, Greenwood, Helena and Tunica.
The sumptuous red lounge chair located bedside is a spot worthy of luxuriation. Bookcases filled with books proffer literary options should one feel so inclined. Madge has a special love for this room as it has a real Gypset feel to it.
The East Room Wing features the color green both in the decor of the room and looking out the three large windows overlooking the large, private backyard. The desk provides an ideal spot for writing. The blackout green curtains in here insure a super dark room in the mornings.
Pap Pap’s Clock Room
Pap Pap’s Clock Room is inspired by the old timekeeper hanging in the large, downstairs bedroom in the Clarksdale White House, once the Owner’s Suite. The timepiece was owned by Frank Christian Marley, Madge’s grandfather, aka Pap Pap, a native Clarksdalian. Two smaller clocks sit atop the mantel, one owned by Billy’s grandmother, Mammy, and the other owned by Madge’s grandmother, Florence. A vintage musical bird in a cage was willed to Madge by her other grandmother, Honey, and the priceless McCarty footed fruit bowl once owned by Madge’s mother, Tootsie, is a striking complement to the collection.
This spacious ground floor bedroom is neatly tucked on the back of the home. An antique oil painting hangs over the mantel of the fireplace (non-working).
The room has a couch and two easy chairs so lounging in this secluded room is primo. The private bathroom has all one needs with a combination shower and bathtub plus a marble vanity with Kohler bathroom features.
Those not wanting to traverse the stairs will find this room homey and convenient. Two bookshelves display an assortment of books. There is even a chess table for those wanting to test their skills at the game.
