Stanton Hall, Greek Revival mansion in Natchez, United States.

Stanton Hall is a three-story brick mansion coated in white plaster, occupying a 2-acre block bounded by High, Commerce, Monroe, and Pearl Streets. Its front entrance has a two-story Greek temple portico with four fluted cast-iron Corinthian columns supporting an entablature and gabled pediment; decorative iron railings fill the spaces between the columns and reappear on the second-floor balcony. The hipped roof is truncated by a large central cupola.

Frederick Stanton, a cotton broker, had Stanton Hall built between 1851 and 1857 and named it Belfast after his ancestral home in Ireland. He lived there only nine months before dying of yellow fever. In 1890 the house became the Stanton College for Young Ladies, and in 1940 the Pilgrimage Garden Club acquired it.

Stanton Hall's name comes from Frederick Stanton, who called it Belfast after his ancestral home in Ireland. The main hall has ceilings nearly 17 feet high under a carved arch, and the front and back parlors together measure 72 feet and are sometimes called the Music Room. The parlor carpet reproduces a Natchez design of 1850, and the bronze chandeliers were made by Cornelius & Baker of Philadelphia.

Stanton Hall fills a 2-acre block bounded by High, Commerce, Monroe and Pearl Streets, north of downtown Natchez. The wrought-iron fence and gate posts run along the High Street front, where the entrance is. Tours run year round, so check times before setting out.

The building later served as Stanton College for Young Ladies and now houses the headquarters of a major garden club. This transformation shows how the house found new purposes after the Civil War and continued to shape the community.
