Description
Rose detail in the cast iron balustrade at Stanton Hall in Natchez, Mississippi. Built in 1857 by Frederick Stanton, Stanton Hall is one of the most visited National Historic Landmarks, in America today. In 1858, an article in the Mississippi Free Trader described the newly completed "palatial residence" as "magnificent and princely." Today that glowing description is truer than ever.
The white stuccoed mansion sits on tree shaded property encompassing an entire city block in the heart of Natchez. The Structure was executed under the supervision of Natchez architect-builder Captain Thomas Rose. MT. Stanton's confidence in the skill of local artisans was so great that all the Work on the edifice was done by Natchez architects, builders, artists, and finishers.

Love the ethereal quality of this one, Cheri. Even though it's iron, the work is delicate and you've photographed it very well. Vote.
