FOR SALE: 1794 Governor's Mansion

Step inside one of the oldest and most architecturally significant homes in Mississippi. In this episode of Our Restoration Nation, we tour the extraordinary Governor Holmes House in Natchez, Mississippi, a circa 1794 landmark tied directly to the earliest days of the state and once home to Mississippi’s first governor, David Holmes. Located in the heart of the Natchez-On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District and listed on the National Register of Historic Places, this remarkable residence tells the story of Southern architecture through its layered evolution over more than two centuries. Originally constructed as a one-story brick structure, the home was later raised to include a second floor, enclosing the original front gallery and transforming the house into the stately urban mansion seen today. Throughout the tour, we explore rare architectural details including original chair rails, gouge-carved mantels, exposed brick-between-post construction, molded ceiling beams, and evidence of the home’s early galleries and cabinet rooms. The blend of brick, stucco, wrought iron, marble flooring, cypress cabinetry, and eight fireplaces creates a fascinating study in early Mississippi craftsmanship and architectural adaptation. Beyond the architecture, the Governor Holmes House offers an incredible look at historic downtown Natchez living, with lush courtyards, rear galleries, fountains, brick pavers, and private outdoor entertaining spaces hidden behind iron gates in the center of the city. If you love historic homes, Greek Revival architecture, Federal architecture, Southern mansions, Natchez history, old house restoration, architectural history, antiques, and preservation, this is a tour you do not want to miss.
