& Located In Natchez Mississippi:
The mansion is known for its octagonal plan, byzantine onion-shaped dome, and the contrast between its ornately finished first floor and the unfinished upper floors.
The inspiration for Longwood: Sloan's "Oriental Villa" as it appeared in his 1852 book, The Model Architect
Samuel Sloan, a Philadelphia architect, designed the home in 1859 for cotton planter Haller Nutt.
Work was halted in 1861 at the start of the American Civil War. Nutt died of pneumonia in 1864, leaving the work incomplete. Of the 32 rooms planned for the house, only nine rooms on the basement floor were completed.
