| One of the state's outstanding examples of Greek Revival architecture, this is a two-story stuccoed brick house with a monumental colonnade of eight Greek Doric columns, and a hipped roof surmounted by a cupola. It was built for William St. John Elliott. Henry Clay was a guest here in 1842. This house was listed on the National Register on 13 January 1972. It is included in "A Guide to Early American Homes – South" (1956), "Images of American Living" (1964/1976) (p. 283), "Shrines to Yesterday" (1968), "Historic Architecture in Mississippi" (1973) (pp. 32-34), "Old Homes of Mississippi, Volume I: Natchez and the South" (1977) (p. 36), "Plantation Homes of Louisiana and the Natchez Area" (1982) (p. 74), "The Great Houses of Natchez" (1986) (pp. 20-22), "Architecture of the Old South: Mississippi - Alabama" (1989), "Classic Natchez" (1996) (p. 29), "Natchez Images, 1880-1960" (2002) (p. 47), "Natchez: Houses and History …" (2003) (pp. 104-109), and "Louisiana Architecture 1840-1860" (2006) (pp. 125-127).
