History

The land belonged to Sir William Dunbar in the early 19th century. In 1826, it was inherited by one of his sons, Archibald Dunbar.

The mansion was built for Joseph Neibert, a real estate speculator, in 1836. It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. It is believed to have been designed and built by carpenter James Hardie, but Neibert may have further added to the design. It was purchased by Alvarez Fisk, a merchant and philanthropist, in 1844. Fisk was active in the Mississippi Colonization Society, which repatriated slaves to Africa prior to the American Civil War of 1861-1865.

By 1855, the mansion was purchased by George Malin Davis, an attorney. From 1915 to 1919, it was home to Stanton College, a women's college. By 1937, it was purchased by the City of Natchez, and restored. A fire damaged the first floor in 1978, but it was subsequently restored again.

Architectural significance

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 22, 1979.
