Context/Comments
One of the finest examples of early twentieth-century residential architecture in Natchez. The Colonial Revival and Art Nouveau detailing of the house is so well and unusually executed that it sets the house apart from its contemporary Victorian counterparts. The house is also symbolic of the rise to prominence of the Jewish community in Natchez, a Southern town that was culturally, socially, intellectually, and economically dominated by its Jewish citizens from the post-Civil War years to the Great Depression.

This house was individually listed on the National Register on 8 November 1979, and it was later included as element #48 in the Clifton Heights Historic District, which was placed on the National Register on 12 November 1982.
