D'Evereux is a mansion in Natchez, Mississippi, listed on the National Register of Historic Places.[1]
D’Evereux was built for William St. John Elliot, a wealthy planter, and his wife Anna Conner. The couple were social leaders in Natchez, and the home was named for Elliot's mother's family.[2]
Completed in 1840, D’Evereux is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in Natchez.[2][3] The builders and architects are not known, though in the home's attic are the signatures of William Ledbetter of Virginia, and P.H. Hardy of Virginia.[3]
D’Evereux was one of the first residential structures in Natchez built with a full-length two-story portico.[3] The six fluted Doric columns are spaced 12 ft (3.7 m) apart and are each 24 ft (7.3 m) in height.[2] The home included the first cupola in a Natchez mansion.[3]
D’Evereux is currently a private residence and there are no tours.[2]
