A massive white portico with spacious upper and lower galleries
elegantly frames Magnolia Hall's front entrance, while similar
galleries grace the back of the home. Inside, beautifully
appointed rooms feature elaborate, high relief magnolia-and-leaf
ceiling medallions. An imposing mahogany staircase ascends from
an expansive entrance hall to the upper floor
This magnificent home was built in 1858 by Thomas Henderson,
planter, merchant and elder in the nearby First Presbyterian
Church. It is one of the three most outstanding examples of
Greek Revival architecture in Natchez.
Downstairs, spacious rooms are furnished with beautiful antiques of
the period, while the upper floor showcases the only costume museum in
Natchez and an intriguing antique doll collection.
