Built in 1823, this house is one of the earliest and most prominent "suburban villas" in Natchez. In addition, the mansion is locally significant as the headquarters of the Federal Army during its occupation of Natchez. A two-story, hip-roofed, brick house with a Tuscan tetrastyle portico, Rosalie is a particularly fine example of the “Jeffersonian Classicism” mode of the Federal style.
Rosalie is included in in "Shrines to Yesterday" (1968), "Historic Architecture in Mississippi" (1973) (pp. 23-25), "Old Homes of Mississippi, Volume I: Natchez and the South" (1977) (pp. 63-64), "Plantation Homes of Louisiana and the Natchez Area" (1982), "Natchez Walking Guide" (1985) (#56), "The Great Houses of Natchez" (1986), "Architecture of the Old South: Mississippi – Alabama" (1989), "Classic Natchez" (1996), "Natchez: Houses and History" (2003), "Great Houses of Mississippi" (2004) (pp. 7-10), "Louisiana Architecture 1820-1840” (2005) (pp. 59-61),"Buildings of Mississippi" (2020) (pp. 30-31), and numerous other books.
