Begun around 1836, Elms Court is a significant and well-preserved example of the Greek Revival style and is one of the most prominent "suburban villas" in the Natchez region. Its notable galleries, which were added across the entire façade c.1852, are possibly the most lavish use of ornamental iron in Mississipip. In addition to its architectural interest, Elmse Court is significant as the residence of Ayers P. Merrill, a locally important merchant, planter and diplomat. [HABS MS-49 (1934)] |
