Commercial Bank and Banker's House

The Commercial Bank features a stone facade with four Ionic columns supporting a full entablature and gabled pediment on Main Street in Natchez.

Built in 1833, this structure served as Mississippi's first bank and later transformed into a Christian Science congregation center during the 1970s.

The building contains hand-carved door surrounds, window frames, and substantial baseboards that represent the architectural preferences of 1830s Mississippi society.

Located at 206 Main Street and 107 Canal Street, this L-shaped property encompasses both the bank premises and the connected residential section.

The limestone walls measure 20 feet in thickness, with scored plaster creating the appearance of large stone blocks throughout the structure.
