A Greek Revival mansion built in 1840 that architectural historians consider one of the purest examples of the style in the South — clean lines, massive Doric columns, and none of the ornamentation that later Natchez builders added. Confederate President Jefferson Davis was a guest here. The house sits on landscaped grounds surrounded by live oaks. Private residence; open during Pilgrimage seasons.
