Neibert-Fisk House, Greek Revival mansion in Natchez, United States.
The Neibert-Fisk House is a two-story brick mansion built with Flemish bond brickwork and featuring a central portico supported by Roman Ionic columns. The structure combines classical architectural elements with finely crafted details characteristic of high-quality residential design from its era.
The mansion was built in 1836 for Joseph Neibert, a real estate speculator from Washington County, Maryland, on land that Sir William Dunbar had owned and his son Archibald Dunbar inherited in 1826. Merchant and philanthropist Alvarez Fisk bought it in 1844; after his death it was donated in 1854 to form the Natchez Institute, the first public school, which was segregated. Attorney George Malin Davis bought it by 1855, Stanton College, a women's college, occupied it from 1915 to 1919, and the City of Natchez bought and restored it by 1937.
The house was donated after Alvarez Fisk's death to form the Natchez Institute in 1854, the city's first public school, which was segregated. From 1915 to 1919 it housed Stanton College, a women's college. The name Choctaw is also used for the mansion.
The building sits on North Wall Street within the historic district, where multiple structures from different eras stand together forming the town's historic fabric. Visitors will find the area best explored on foot, with many period homes clustered nearby.
