Winchester House

Winchester House combines Federal and Greek Revival architectural styles with one and a half stories at 816 Main Street in Natchez, Mississippi.

The residence, built between 1836 and 1838 for city alderman Horace Gridley, became the property of Judge Josiah Winchester in 1854.

The house represents the architectural preferences of wealthy Mississippi residents during the early nineteenth century through its classical design elements.

The property maintains its position within both the Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District and Natchez Historic District at coordinates 31.556944, -91.398611.

Three different families owned this residence over nearly 140 years: the Gridleys until 1854, the Winchesters until 1928, and the Burns family afterward.
