Arlington (Natchez, Mississippi)
Arlington is a historic Federal style house and outbuildings in Natchez, Mississippi. The property, which includes three contributing buildings, was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1973.〔 It was further declared a National Historic Landmark in 1974.〔 Following a fire that destroyed much of the main house, it was placed on Mississippi's 10 most endangered historic places for 2009 by the Mississippi Heritage Trust.
==History==
Tradition maintains that Arlington was built by John Hampton White, a native of Elizabethtown, New Jersey, and his wife, Jane Surget White. The date that construction of the house began is murky. It is thought by scholars to have been built about 1819–20.
The architect of Arlington is unknown. Its design has historically been attributed to John Hampton White, but no documentation exists to validate the claim. What is documented is that Lewis Evans, a wealthy Natchez planter, purchased the land on which Arlington stands in 1806. Here he established a plantation and built a house. In 1814 he sold a portion of the plantation containing his house to Jonathan Thompson, a land speculator. Thompson then sold the Arlington property, including the house built by Evans, to Mrs. Jane Surget White in December 1818. Jane White was the daughter of Pierre Surget, a French emigrant at the head of one of Natchez's leading families.〔 John Hampton White died on October 15, 1819 during a yellow fever epidemic. Jane White died on July 1, 1825.
