Stanton Hall
National Historic Landmark · Natchez, Mississippi
A Greek Revival mansion in Natchez that occupies an entire city block, built between 1857 and 1858 for Frederick Stanton, an Irish-born cotton broker who died within a year of moving in. It is the grandest of the Natchez houses and the most complete — the plaster, the mirrors and much of the joinery are original, and the scale of the rooms is the argument the house was built to make. That money came from cotton and from the people who were enslaved to grow it, and the tour now says so rather than working around it.
