Natchez Auction Preview: Bed & Breakfast

The Guest House, an intimate hotel/bed and breakfast, has 16 exquisitely appointed and furnished guest rooms. Located in the heart of the oldest settlement on the Mississippi River and originally built in the 1840s, The Guest House offers visitors a unique and unforgettable Southern hospitality experience.

The Guest House was originally a one-and-a-half story, Greek Revival townhouse built for Samuel and Jane Newman in the mid-1840s. As originally built and documented in historic photographs, the Guest House resembled the nearby John Smith House, a smaller brick cottage at the corner of North Pearl and Jefferson Streets.

In 1902-03, the second story was completed, which is the reason for the difference of windows between the first and second floor. Since the Victorian Era renovation, many architectural features were changed from the original Greek Revival architecture. Fireplace mantels and door moldings were modernized into the Victorian style and the front pediment and four massive columns added. The enlarged and remodeled building also featured a swimming pool at the rear where the courtyard exists today.

The dedication to preserve the original architecture style and décor of the property, the Guest House is celebrating its 26th year as a fine hospitality establishment in the heart of historic downtown Natchez.

A bid deposit of $100,000 is required to bid on this property.
