Context/Comments
An elegant one-story Greek Revival house with a Doric distyle portico and encircling entablature, and an Ionic distyle-in-antis door surround. The house is notable for its exceptionally intact interior and for the fact that it has remained continuously in the same family since 1849.

This building was individually listed on the National Register on 29 March 1979, and it was later included as element #506 in the Natchez-on-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District, which was placed on the National Register on 17 September 1979.
