Description
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.

I've been there and I couldn't say how it's possibly for you to have made this more stunning than it is in real life but you've done that Cheri. Spectacular - just an outstanding work of art. F/V

Astrid, thanks for your nice compliment. This verandah is everything one imagines of the beauty and grace of the "old South".
