The only house of Byzantine influence on the banks of Mississippi. This octagonal house of red bricks and white woodwork is topped by a dome shaped by bulbs, such as Orthodox churches. Originally the house had to have six floors, but construction was interrupted by the war of Secession and the poor doctor Nutt, owner, died of pneumonia and grief without having seen his dream completed. His descendants lived on both floors of the house for a hundred years. Now classified as a historic monument, the house is worth a visit.

belle visite
Cette belle demeure vaut le détour, ne serait-ce que par sa forme très particulière. Le guide explique très bien l’histoire de la construction inachevée. Possibilité de visiter avec un pass permettant de voir plusieurs demeures dans la ville de Natchez.
