Stanton Hall is one of the finest Greek Revival mansions in Natchez, filling most of a city block on High Street with its white-columned facade. Built in 1857 at the peak of the cotton economy's extravagance, it is one of the largest antebellum houses in the state, with 72 rooms and interior fittings — bronze chandeliers, ornate plasterwork, European marble mantels — that were shipped in from around the world.
Tours run regularly and cover the main floor rooms with knowledgeable guides who put the mansion's history in the context of the enslaved labor that made its construction possible. The property also contains a restaurant in the carriage house, which makes a convenient lunch stop during a day of mansion-hopping. Open year-round.
