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 1836, D’Evereux is one of the finest examples of Greek Revival architecture in the US.[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 Ohio.[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, after being closed for many years it will be open for Spring Pilgrimage .[2]

gollark: I don't remember this happening. But I PRed in anonymization a while back.
gollark: Well, if they don't move it's fine, but the IDs were removed some time back.
gollark: If you want to do something actually usefulish, "FORTRESS", you can trilaterate GPS pings and find anyone who sends them (but not actually uniquely identify them since a few versions back).
gollark: If you have a hidden piston door or something and wireless control I guess it makes sense?
gollark: There are valid reasons to spam arbitrary channels, like when someone had a wireless light controller which worked by just checking channel and reply channel, and I knew *approximately* what those were, and wanted to meddle with their lights. But doing it without a target in mind is just pointless.
