Stanton Hall
The most magnificent Greek Revival mansion in downtown Natchez. It occupies an entire city block, and its interior retains original furniture and mirrors.
Stanton Hall was built in 1857 as the residence of cotton merchant Frederick Stanton. Its Greek Revival style, with tall Corinthian columns, cast-iron balconies, and a garden that covers an entire block, reflects the wealth of Natchez before the Civil War. Inside, the house still holds many original chandeliers, marble fireplaces, and French mirrors. It is maintained by the Pilgrimage Garden Club, which offers daily tours. The Carriage House restaurant in the rear courtyard is famous for its Southern fried chicken lunch and can be combined with your visit. Admission costs about 25 US dollars, and the mansion is within walking distance of downtown.
