The Neibert-Fisk House, also known as Choctaw, is a historic mansion in Natchez, Mississippi, USA.
History
The land belonged to Sir William Dunbar in the early 19th century.[2] In 1826, it was inherited by one of his sons, Archibald Dunbar.[2]
The mansion was built for Joseph Neibert, a real estate speculator, in 1836.[2] 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.[2] It was purchased by Alvarez Fisk, a merchant and philanthropist, in 1844.[2] Fisk was active in the Mississippi Colonization Society, which repatriated slaves to Africa prior to the American Civil War of 1861–1865.[2]
By 1855, the mansion was purchased by George Malin Davis, an attorney.[2] From 1915 to 1919, it was home to Stanton College, a women's college.[2] By 1937, it was purchased by the City of Natchez, and restored.[2] A fire damaged the first floor in 1978, but it was subsequently restored again.[2]
Architectural significance
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 22, 1979.[1]
