Natchez, MS and the Bontura House
One of my favorite homes to visit when I go to Natchez is the Bontura, c1851 built by Robert D. Smith, a free African-American who ran a carriage service. Later it became an inn run by Portuguese merchant Jose Bontura. Built in the Greek Revival style. It sits on the bluff overlooking the Mississippi River, It has unique iron work and I always try to go by during different Seasons to capture the ever changing landscape...Because of it's location on the Bluffs it was shelled by Union gunboats in the Civil War. It is now privately owned, I would love to go inside and see what it looks like.I did find a place on the net that showed more info about this beautiful house...You can read about it here
This sets right across the street from the Bontura House...What a beautiful sight to see every morning from your parlor windows.
Hey Molly!
ReplyDeleteI too would love to see that house on the inside! I can only imagine all of the intricate woodwork and trim that would be in it. It truly is beautiful on the outside!
Thanks for sharing your part of the States with us!

Gorgeous home and what a spectacular view! I can only imagine what the inside of the home looks like. Too bad it is private now.
ReplyDeleteSunshine and no rain looks nice too.
