| An elegant, free-standing brick townhouse, with Greek Revival details. Notable for the quality of its craftsmanship, it features a finely-laid stretcher-bond facade, comparable to the brickwork at Melrose, Shadyside, and Weymouth Hall. The Dr. Dubs Townhouse is significant for its historical association with the original owner, Dr. Charles H. Dubs, a locally prominent inventor and dental surgeon. It is also significant as a rare example in Natchez of the Northern townhouse form, with excellent craftsmanship evident in the brickwork and with an unusually complete scheme of interior decorative painting. This building was individually listed on the National Register on 5 May 1978, and it was later included as element #392 in the Natchez-on-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District, which was placed on the National Register on 17 September 1979. It is included in "The Great Houses of Natchez" (p. 24) and "Natchez Walking Guide" (#17). |
