OESCRI8E THE PRESENT ANO ORIGINAL. (lllmown) I"HVIICAL. APPEARANCE
Part, if not all, of the house dates from 1800 when James Moore, merchant
owned the property. The plan of the Moore house is usually associated
with Louisiana; there are no halls and each room opens directly outdoors.
There are two stories, the lower, of brick, has very plain interior
treatment; the upper, wood-framed and clapboarded, has well-detailed wood
mantels, cornices, and door trim. The central room facing the river has
a domical recess in the ceiling for hanging a chandelier; (The Waterford
crystal example now there is undoubtedly finer than the original.) The
surrounding rooms have slightly vaulted ceilings, disguising their low
height. the central roofline is a steep gable between the chimneys at
each end of the central room; the surrounding roof is of a lower pitch.
The steep bluff site faces the Mississippi River. The two-story gallery
on the river side is high above Canal Street while the upper story is at
grade level at the rear where it is reached by bridges across a dry moat.
'·
Because the south end of the house is at the original lot boundary, there m
has been speculation that the south rooms were added after the adjacent m
property came under the same ownership in 1851. The architectural evi-
dence gives meagre support to this theory.
z
• Restored in 1935-36 by architect Richard Koch for the Natchez Garden
Club, the restoration primarily involved rebuilding collapsing masonry,
removing nonoriginal partitions, repairing carpentry and plasterwork,
and restoring the fine wood trim recorded by HABS in 1934.
At the time of the restoration, it was believed that this was Connelly's
Tavern, an establishment of importance in the history and legend of
Natchez. Subsequent research indicates that this was not the tavern site
It has also been associated with Andrew Ellicott's raising of the Americar 0
flag at Natchez in February 1797, an event that must have occurr~d yery z
near, but before the house was erected. In the years between 1816 and
1936, it saw use as a physician's house and office, a part of J. R.
Gilreath's school (the site has also been called Gilreath's Hill), and
a tenement •

ST ... TEMENT OF SIGNIFICANCE
'
One of the first structures to be built after the Spanish laid out a
new town on the Natchez bluff, this house was built by James Moore who
acquired the property in 1797. Although Natchez was a frontier outpost
:z at the time, it was also the first capital of Mississippi Territory
0 after 1798. While Moore's house cannot compare to contemporary work in
Philadelphia or Richmond, neither would they compare to London or Paris.
1- The best available craftsmen worked on the house on Ellicott's Hill
u and favorably influenced the architectural tastes of a vast, developing
area.
