Welcome to Linden, one of Natchez Mississippi's finest mansions. Initially constructed in 1790 this beautiful historic home continued to evolve through the antebellum period.
Linden is of extreme architectural importance both in the city and in the nation. Linden is a large frame and brick structure facing north in a park-like. The principal block, which is the oldest section of the house, is five bays wide and two stories high with a three-bay, two-tiered portico placed on the center axis. Although the portico bears some relation to the two-tiered porticoes popular in the Palladian phase of Georgian architecture, the absence of a well-defined entablature and the steep rake of the pediment illustrate a misunderstanding of classical architecture typical of vernacular building. Flanking this block are one-story wings with hipped roofs behind wide colonnades topped with balustrades. The most notable and ambitious feature of the exterior is the elaborately carved entrance frontispiece. Engaged columns flank the side lights and door and support a frieze with geometric guilloche carvings and a returned cornice. From this springs an elliptical arch containing a glazed fanlight with radiating mullions. Flanking the entrance in the principal block are double-hung, twelve- over-twelve windows, while the one-story wings are treated with six-over-six jib windows. The entire wall area sheltered by the colonnade is stuccoed and scored to give a more finished appearance than clapboard.
The rear (south) elevation is formed into a U-shaped courtyard by a two-
story brick dependency behind the west wing and the turning of the east wing to form an east rear wing. As is typical of many Natchez dwellings, verandas run along the three faces of the courtyard and are equipped with secondary stair-cases and, more interestingly, with fixed blinds as a measure of protection against inclement weather.
The principal block is arranged in a simple single-pile plan with an
open-well staircase rising from the center passage. Mantels in the east
(library) and west (parlor) chambers are designed with paneled pilasters,
friezes decorated with the chevron motif, and shelves. Window aprons in
the library repeat the chevron design but are missing in the parlor, due,
most likely, to the installation of a Colonial Revival window on the south
wall and the general "improvements" made to the room in the early twentieth century. Federal woodwork is also preserved in the east wing, believed to be the earliest addition, and in the two-story brick dependency. Greek Revival woodwork, typical of the 1830s, is apparent in the west wing, which houses the dining room. Hanging from the dining room ceiling is a large punkah, a wooden fan manually operated by a system of ropes and pulleys. Although there are other punkahs in the Natchez region, the one at Linden is considered one of the finest and most graceful. The fan is designed with twocurved stiles framing a paneled area below an open comb-like set of vertical spindles. This apparatus pivots from a ceiling mount which is treated with S-shaped brackets and a shallow, paneled soffit.
Long considered one of the great Natchez mansions, Linden is a signifi-
cant example of vernacular Federal architecture, noted particularly for its
rare two-tiered portico and its splendid entrance frontispiece. With the
additions made during the Greek Revival period, Linden reached its present
picturesque form. Several features installed with the additions, such as
the extensive galleries, some protected by fixed blinds, the jib windows,
and the punkah, are important examples of the domestic architecture characteristic of antebellum Natchez.

"Here's your cold plate; and your luggage is waiting outside!" 🤣🤣 Priceless! It is always refreshing to experience a tour guide (Mark) who tells the truth about a property and it's history....and the realities of the time period (good, bad or indifferent) without compromise.
The house is interesting yet peaceful, and each addition compliments instead of complicates. It would be intriguing to visit Linden and stay in one of the B&B rooms overnight. Thank you Laine and Kevin for this wonderful tour of Linden!
That is cold.....
From Tara's door to Blanche's childhood home on The Golden Girls 😄
I knew this house looked familiar.
I love you!! A golden girls reference!😊
@@jobskinner833 💝💝💝
I have always wanted a back gallery area like that with part of my home on 3 sides, but a much smaller scale. ❤❤😊
They are wonderful!
Beautiful property ❤ l love the history
Another wonderful treat! A very charming and well-informed host. While I love an ornate Victorian full of carved dark wood and stained glass, the simplicity and grace of these earlier homes really appeals to me. It feels 'light', and appropriate for the southern climate and sensibility. This is something I love about your channel and others that feature old homes; the practical and decorative history of how Americans lived, in different parts of the country. The decor in this home is perfectly balanced with the colors and sizes of the spaces. Very glad to see it is available as a B&B, so it will continue to be maintained, and preserved for the future. Just beautiful. :)
Excellent camera work! And, Wow! that was an amazing tour he did. I was sad when it ended. He's a natural! I wanted to hear about every room in that house.
So beautiful, loved hearing all the history too xxxx
I absolutely love how you guys catch a lot of the views of the staircases that are on carpeted and show the original wear and tear of tens of thousands of footsteps going up and down over the years creating that little wear pattern in the wood
I was privileged to stay several nights in this house years ago. In fact, I stayed in the upstairs bedroom shown in this video! Lovely memories of morning coffee on that awesome back porch. Thank you for this trip down memory lane.
We LOVE those historical anekdotes and etiquettes! Thank you guys!
Your programs are excellent and they keep improving. Thank you!
Glad you like them!
Really enjoyed the tour & learning about the families that have owned this beautiful home over the many, many years!
Love seeing and learning about architectural history in homes across America. The one thing he said about the candles being lit, I do believe it was out of convenience rather than safety. I cannot image having to light and then blow out so many candles 😮
As always, thank you Laine and Kevin for your meticulous attention to detail in filming and knowledge and letting those who have the most knowledge take the lead. You both are so gracious and kind. ❤❤❤
Wow! That house is gorgeous and so well maintained. I enjoyed this very much!
Absolutely gorgeous home and I loved all the little tidbits pertaining to the different objects.
Love love love those porches!!
Thank you for bring us along to all these beautiful places. Love your channel!
Linden is such a special home! I'm so happy my husband and I were able to stay before Miss Jeannette Feltus passed. She loved Linden and was a true grand dame! Her daughter Marjorie and her husband David just continue making the place EVEN better. Wonderful tour Mark!
Linden is so beautiful! once again, thanks for the tour & the history lessons.
I loved learning where the phrase "sleep tight ' comes from. Ropes that supported the mattress? Interesting.
Loved hearing those extra details and stories!
Oh how beautiful this house is. I agree Laine; as soon as that back porch like area was shown I knew that’s where I would spend all of my time. Thank you for showing this amazing B&B! 💚💜
Thank you ORN, great tour
Miß Laine, thy videos are always wonderful! Thank thee so much for sitting back and letting Mark Weeden teach us. Mr. Weeden, thou art an absolutely lovely tour guide! Thou art a gracious host, & full of exceßively delightful information! Thou poßeßest a gift for teaching!
So beautifully narrated. I wish I could languish over every table, every picture. Pondering now, if, there are any spirits still about guarding the home and property? I for one, would not blame them! Such a piece of heaven on earth, who would want to leave?
Beautiful place.
Mass produced matches haven't been around so long. Early matches, which date back to the mid 1700's, were rather a rare curiosity, dangerous and of course expensive those days. So this nice tiny wax thing helped a lot. Nice plate story!
Just beautiful! Tk y!!💋♥️👍
This man gives distinctive and thoughtful tour guides you can follow along with his amazing conversation and details about the home very respectful and welcoming and helpful and 👍 ❤😂😊
Excellent presentation thank you so very much and some very very interesting tidbits on the aside thoroughly enjoyed this
What a beautiful home!
Nobody could’ve done this better Mark!!! So knowledgeable (of course) and beautiful in blue!! This house is AMAZING. I’ve been to many events here and it’s definitely one of the jewels of Natchez ❤

That ceiling pully fan is everything!
What a beautiful place. Loved your video Laine and Kevin.
Muy hermosa casa. Gracias por compartir. Desde Montevideo, Uruguay (América del Sur).
The M9st Appealing of the houses, with the colors and taste of furniture, far more inviting, relaxing, and in harmony that the busy, cluttered influence of the Victorian.
So nice. Love Natchez

❤ Love this Mark!! And love you always of course, lol. Y’all did an absolutely stunning job. And you are looking quite handsome my friend!
The surroundings must look incredible in summer.
Lovely home!
Union all the way, however, the South is full of beauty, grace, and charm!
Que linda mansão!
The cold plate I didn't know about, but now when people say "I made you a cold plate to go" it is going to feel a little different, ha,ha, no that is pretty interesting and a good way to not be rude, but universally understood, that it is time to leave and no one takes offense to it.
I love our customs and manners.
Lovely house
Beautiful 💖🙋♀️🇨🇱
Wonder how old the Red curtains are cause they are just lovely
🥂 ~Beautiful! 💫👍
I have a serious question:
How did the paintings, tapestries, upholstery, etc… not mildew/ruin in the 99% humidity? How’d they survive? Always wanted to know.
Of course now we have climate control, but in the 18th and 19th century it was all about the center hallway. Front and back doors faced each other, and both would be open in the hot months to pull airflow through the home. Keeping air moving helps keep moisture at bay. Plaster walls also absorb humidity in the summer months and release it in the winter, so they also do a huge part in protecting!
Lo lindo de esto es su entrada que belleza para visitar
Very nice :))
I love this house. Wouldn't you say it was rather Jeffersonian Palladian in design? (Which falls under the Federal blanket). Mark, the tour guide, was a scream 🤣
How do the dinner table candles stay lit with the 'Ponka(?)' waving back & forth? 🤔 Wow! Those Boston ferns on the front porch! They're huge! Mine always die so I'm always amazed when I see them! Beautiful home! Beautiful footage! 😍
I’ve wondered the same thing
There’s a fertilizer that I buy by the name of Peters. It’s on Amazon but make sure to buy the one for ferns. There are many different types. Such a beautiful home.
❤❤
Wait..we didn't get to see all of the house..bedrooms baths.. kitchen and so on. Short tour..Lol but beautiful 🙂👍
We show what is open to us
I've toured this lovely plantation house. It's not as grandiose as others but I liked the livability of the house. I'm not condoning the means to service it.
Just to be clear, this is not and never was a Plantation home. This is a suburban villa. No agricultural activities ever took place near this home.
It must be wonderful to have grown up there. Does the current owner still live there?
They have another home out of state but visit often.
Can anyone tell me the dining room paint color?! Need that! (Wonderful tour). ❤
I don’t but if you call them they may be able to answer.
@@OurRestorationNation thanks so much for your reply. Loving your channel, as always. Cheers and happy new year!
❤❤❤❤❤❤
Pee Wee Herman music for the intro…love it!
All the money, and cotton in the world and they stuffed their mattresses with tree moss and corn husks? Hard to imagine!
Truly magnificent, but would have loved to see a kitchen ...?
Bed and breakfasts often have commercial kitchens to take care of their visitors so they don’t look they way you would like them to look.
@@OurRestorationNation Ahh true .. thank you ❣
Oh good, an Irish or wife of, a "Connor" is part of the provenance, ie: the lineage of the property.
Here's your cold plate and your luggage is waiting outside :)
I really liked the background music you chose for the introduction; the porches and the courtyard layout are beautiful. I don't like seeing those punkah fans though. I do wish the tour guide would have said outright that the person stuck pulling the rope would probably have been an enslaved child, instead of just saying that "someone" would pull the rope.
Looks like that roof needs some attention?
Respect to the slaves who built these lovely homes.
❤❤
