Ravenna is a historic two-and-a-half-story mansion in Natchez, Mississippi, U.S.. It was built in 1835-1836 for William Harris, a merchant commissioner, planter and Natchez alderman.[2] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style, based on plans by Asher Benjamin.[2] By the 1850s, it was purchased by the Melcalfe family, whose descendants owned the house until they sold it to Dr. Mallan Morgan in the 1980s.[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since November 4, 1982.[3]
