Description

Commanding a bluff-top position along South Broadway Street, The Parsonageoverlooks Bluff Park, the Mississippi River, and downtown Natchez from one of themost distinguished vantage points in the region. As documented in the April 3, 1852 issue of the Concordia Intelligencer, the property sits ''on one of the most commanding sites upon Broadway Street, fronting the bluff and overlooking the river'' -- a distinction unchanged more than 170 years later.Originally commissioned through the generosity of Peter Little of nearby Rosalie (1822), The Parsonage was completed in 1852 as the official residence of Methodist ministers. Architect and builder,...read more James Hardie, a Scottish immigrant and one of Natchezs most accomplished master builder, was the same hand behind the celebrated mansion Homewood and the construction of St. Mary Basilica. Hardie engaged master bricklayer Osborne K. Field, and together they produced a structure of exceptional architectural significance.The Parsonage is a commanding example of Greek Revival architecture, whichflourished in Natchez from 1833 through the Civil War. Notably, it also appears to be the first building in Natchez to exhibit Italianate detailing -- predating the styles broader appearance in the city by three years -- visible in the distinctive arcaded brick arches that partially enclose the rear porch. The raised basement supports the main living level and provides sweeping views of Bluff Park and the river. Above, the roof is crowned by a balustraded deck -- the highest vantage point on the property -- where the full sweep of the Mississippi River and the Natchez bluff unfold in every direction. It is, quite simply, one of the most commanding private overlooks in the American South.Inside, the home is beautifully finished with bold Greek Revival millwork, ornate plaster ceiling centerpieces, and refined period details consistent with Natchezs finest historic properties. The formal parlors flank a central hall designed for both grandeur and ventilation -- a hallmark of Southern antebellum design. According to family tradition, the large mirror in the front parlor was concealed on the adjacent grounds of Rosalie during the Civil War, and the original mantel was later modified to accommodate its scale -- an evocative detail connecting the homes interior to the history of the Natchez bluff.The raised basement level extends the homes livability with a kitchen, dining area, family room, two bedrooms, and two full baths, anchored by a central hall and enriched with exposed brick walls and fireplaces. Between 1886 and 1892, a complementary two- story frame addition was constructed perpendicular to the rear wall, accessible from both upper and lower porch areas. The property also features a brick outbuilding -- likely a carriage house -- documented on an 1864 Union Army map.The Parsonage has been in the stewardship of a single family for over 130 years. Jamesand Agnes Metcalfe acquired the home in 1893, followed by so
