Auburn staircase, Natchez - a photo on Flickriver

Auburn staircase, Natchez

            This neo-classical house, designed by Levi Weeks for Lyman Harding in 1812, is dominated by a giant portico with Roman Ionic columns.  The two doorways are based on traditional Palladian motifs.  The main house is the most architecturally significant building dating to the territorial period because it introduced academic architecture to the Mississippi Territory.  It is historically important as the residence of attorney Lyman Harding, one of the wealthiest and most influential citizens of Natchez during the territorial period, legal counsel for Aaron Burr at his arraignment in 1807, and Mississippi's first Attorney General.  Auburn's two-story portico is one of the earliest in the South, pre-dating similar porticoes at the University of Virginia and those added in the 1820s to the White House and to Arlington in Virginia.  The house and its outbuildings are National Historic Landmarks and Mississippi Landmarks.
