The Elms, Federal architecture mansion in Natchez, United States.

The Elms is a mansion combining Federal and Greek Revival design elements, featuring symmetrical facades and carefully proportioned rooms throughout. The interior showcases marble accents, elaborate woodwork, and ornamental plasterwork in its main spaces.

The Elms was built in 1804 with two ground-floor rooms, two second-floor rooms, a two-room attic and one chimney. In 1815 a two-story wing added a formal parlor below and a master bedroom above. It served as the Presbyterian manse from 1825 to 1835 and as a young ladies' boarding school in the early 1840s. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places on November 7, 1976.

From 1825 to 1835 The Elms served as the Presbyterian manse, and in the early 1840s it housed a young ladies' boarding school. After the Civil War, Mosely (John Posey) Drake and Caroline (Love America) Drake bought the house, and it has stayed in their family; the present owner, Esther Carpenter, is an artist and a chef.

The Elms stands at 801 Washington Street in Natchez. It stopped operating as a bed & breakfast on July 18, 2025, and the property is now for sale, so there are no rooms to book and no tours to join. Visitors can view the exterior from the street; purchase details are found by searching the address online.
