The Neibert-Fisk House, also known as Choctaw, is a historic mansion built in 1836 and located within the Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District in Natchez, Mississippi, USA. It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places for architecture since January 22, 1979; [1] and is listed as a pivotal building within the Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District. [2]
The land belonged to Sir William Dunbar in the early 19th century. [3] In 1826, it was inherited by one of his sons, Archibald Dunbar. [3]
The mansion was built for Joseph Neibert, a real estate speculator, in 1836. [3] 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. [3]
It was purchased by Alvarez Fisk, a merchant and philanthropist, in 1844. [3] Fisk was active in the Mississippi Colonization Society, which repatriated slaves to Africa prior to the American Civil War of 1861–1865. [3] After Fisk's death, the house was donated for the formation of the Natchez Institute in 1854, the first public school which was segregated. [4]
By 1855, the mansion was purchased by George Malin Davis, an attorney. [3] From 1915 to 1919, it was home to Stanton College, a women's college. [3] By 1937, it was purchased by the City of Natchez, and restored. [3] A fire damaged the first floor in 1978, but it was subsequently restored again. [3]
