Ellicott Hill

Most impressive about the exterior of this brick basement story and its upper wood-framed main floor, are the home’s West Indies-inspired distinctive high-pitched vernacular shed roof and august yet graceful upper and lower front galleries. The home’s posterior dry moat, creates passage, light, and air flow behind and around the lower story and necessitating short bridges from the upper story to the top of the adjacent hill. The elegance of the era’s fashionable Federalist architecture appears in the home’s millwork, fan-lighted front and rear doorways on the main floor, and domed and vaulted ceilings. Ellicott Hill is owned and beautifully maintained by the Natchez Garden Club.
