D'Evereux Hall is a mansion in Natchez, Mississippi, listed on the National Register of Historic Places. [1]
D’Evereux was built for William St. John Elliot, a wealthy plantation owner, and his wife Anna Conner. The couple were social leaders in Natchez, and the home was named for Elliot's mother's family. [2]
Completed in 1836, D’Evereux is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the US. [2] [3] The builders and architects are not known, though in the home's attic are the signatures of William Ledbetter of Virginia, and P.H. Hardy of Ohio. [3]
D’Evereux was one of the first residential structures in Natchez built with a full-length two-story portico. [3] The six fluted Doric columns are spaced 12 ft (3.7 m) apart and are each 24 ft (7.3 m) in height. [2] The home included the first cupola in a Natchez mansion. [3]
D’Evereux is currently a private residence, after being closed for many years it will be open for Spring Pilgrimage . [2]
