Stanton Hall carriage house and stables building

You might have noticed this large brick building on North Commerce Street, situated between two homes in a residential area of downtown Natchez. This building once served Stanton Hall as a carriage house and stables. Originally, the building included three rooms with corresponding openings for carriages and livestock. The structure was enlarged between 1892-1897 and was listed as a cotton warehouse on Sanborn fire insurance maps throughout the twentieth century.

Following Frederick Stanton's death in 1859 his probate inventory listed the contents of the carriage house/stables including, "2 horses, 1 mare, 2 carriages, 1 old buggy, 1 wagon, 2 carts, 1 cow, 1 calf, 1 bull, and 1 new buggy."

Information about this building and other dependencies for Stanton Hall is included on the recently installed interpretive panels at the house.
