The Griffin–Spragins House (first called the Refuge Plantation House) is located in Refuge, Mississippi, approximately {{convert|10|mi|km|abbr=on}} southwest of Greenville.

Built in approximately 1850, it was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1984.[2]

Francis Griffin purchased land in 1831 on a high ridge bordering the Mississippi River where he established "Refuge Plantation".[2] By 1850, Griffin had 150 slaves working on his plantation.[3] The "Refuge Plantation House", shaded by oak trees and protected from the river by a levee system, was erected with a view of the river.[2]

The Griffins lost much of their fortune during the Civil War, and were forced to sell the property. A subsequent owner was Edmund Richardson, one of the wealthiest cotton growers in the south.[4]

The home remains today one of the best examples of a mid-nineteenth-century plantation house in Washington County.[2]
