Dunleith
84 Homochitto Street Natchez
In the city of Natchez, a city filled with huge, historic mansions, Dunleith
sits proudly with its 26 huge Tuscan columns amid the grandeur. The house
th
occupies the site of John Routh’s 18 century plantation, Routhlands. When that
house burned, Routh’s son-in-law built Dunleith in 1855. Amid the grandeur of
Natchez’s homes, there are also many spirits including the lonely woman who
still plays the harp at Dunleith, over a century after she arrived.
