The Burn, Greek Revival mansion in Natchez, United States.
The Burn is a Greek Revival mansion in Natchez featuring a five-bay front facing east with four fluted Doric columns supporting a gabled roof. The house sits elevated above ground on a brick basement that provides both structural support and visual prominence.
The house was constructed in 1834 for John P. Walworth as a private residence. During the Civil War, Union forces converted it into a hospital, after which it resumed its role as a family home.
The house contains furnishings and tableware that belonged to the Walworth family during their long residence here. Visitors can see how daily life unfolded in these rooms across multiple generations of ownership.
The house operates today as a bed and breakfast accommodation with private rooms that blend historic charm with modern amenities. Guest rooms include antique furnishings, updated bathrooms, air conditioning, and contemporary entertainment options.
The grounds feature a two-acre garden filled with more than a hundred camellia plants and native trees. A full-size swimming pool and brick walkways wind through the property, creating a quiet retreat away from the town center.
