built circa 1857. This preservation project of the Pilgrimage Garden Club of Natchez is one of the most magnificent and palatial residences of antebellum America. The interior contains original furnishings and Natchez antiques, including hand-carved woodwork, silver-plated hinges and doorknobs and marble mantles. The original owner was Frederick Stanton, a cotton broker who immigrated in 1815 to Natchez from Ireland at the age of 21, and became one of the richest men in Adams County
