Brandon Hall is located in a park-like setting east of the Natchez Trace Parkway. Built in 1856, the Greek Revival house is one of the grandest plantation mansions in Adams County. The house was built as the home of Gerard Brandon III and his wife Charlotte. Brandon was the son of Gerard Brandon, Jr., the first native-born governor of Mississippi, and the grandson of Gerard Brandon who arrived in Mississippi during the Spanish period and established nearby Selma Plantation. After the deaths of Gerard and
Charlotte Brandon in the 1870s, the house became the home of their daughter, Elizabeth, and her husband Aaron Stanton. Stanton was the son of David Stanton of The Elms and the nephew of Frederick Stanton of Stanton Hall, both in Natchez. The house remained in the ownership of Brandon descendants until 1914.
Brandon Hall is a large, two-story, frame house with a pyramidal roof. The house is fronted by a two-story gallery with superimposed classical orders. The lower gallery features Ionic columns with higher order, Corinthian columns on the upper gallery. The Corinthian columns are modeled on the Tower of the Winds. Likewise, the first-story entrance doorway is framed by an Ionic frontispiece, and the second-story doorway is framed by a Corinthian frontispiece. The first-story Ionic gallery wraps around the house
to form a one-story gallery on the side elevations. Columns on both levels are linked by a cast-iron balustrade with a lyre motif. All windows that open onto one of the galleries are set above hinged panels known as jib doors. Where exterior walls are protected by galleries, they are finished in scored stucco on lath.
The interior of Brandon Hall features a triple-pile plan (three rooms deep) with an expansive central hall that measures eighteen by sixty-two feet. Only Stanton Hall has a larger central hall. Brandon Hall’s staircase, which features a swan’s neck newel post, is entered at the rear of the hall. Several patterns of Grecian motifs decorate the interior of the house with the most elaborate scheme reserved for the central hall and the double parlors. Window and door surrounds are symmetrically molded with corner blocks,
mantelpieces are marble, and the plaster entablatures and medallions feature a wide variety of Grecian motifs, including the water leaf, egg-and-dart, palm, honeysuckle, and acanthus. The dining room and library are not as lavishly decorated. The window and door surrounds have shouldered architraves, the mantelpieces are wood, and cornices are more simply rendered.
Brandon Hall passed through nine owners between 1914 and 1983, when it was acquired by the Diefenthal family of New Orleans. Only forty of its original acres were intact. The Diefenthal family undertook a massive rehabilitation, which included the construction of new dependency buildings. The Diefenthal family has been generous in sharing Brandon Hall with the Natchez community and its civic and charitable organizations.

Isn't it funny that all modern houses are lacking all the beautiful details of the older homes? I love all the beautiful, artistic details of the old homes, the moulding, the plaster, and the marble mantles! Of course all that requires extra cleaning for which they had house servants which we don't have now.
@@christinestephenson1742 It also requires craftsman if you could find them and then the money to hire them. Also their idea of clean was different than what we know now….. and you would have smelled them before you saw them because they didn’t bath but every 3-4 months. It all looks beautiful now and I’m sure it was then to most but it wasn’t as glamorous as you would think. It was hot and miserable and the woman had to suffer in the time period clothes which were awful…… but they didn’t know any different. They also were burning oil in the light fixtures that was extremely toxic and they had no idea.
1856 was the heart of slavery so l think the house servants were black slaves 😂😂😂
@@christinestephenson1742 labor was inexpensive when it was built.
@@shaneencalade4988good grief!
@@Mimi-ht6xr What they're good for
It’s amazing that this home was built w/o any modern tools yet has tons more detail than homes built today . There’s a lot of heavy furniture upstairs plus the columns and she’s still able to carry the load . Super impressed
@@33479Leigh The labor and upkeep were free. Ironic
I love a " tucked away" staircase! I also love that huge verandah. I would spend hours out there reading!
This is one of the most beautiful historic homes I have ever seen. The grounds are so pretty. I could just see Rhett standing at the bottom of that staircase looking up at Scarlett. Thank you Kevin and Laine,beautiful tour.
Brandon Hall is so beautiful! The caretakers of this beautiful plantation have done an outstanding job! 😀❤
I knew this one would be epic. Your sense of architectural history is top notch.
Beautifully furnished! Not overstated. Very well maintained 😊
There was a time about 20 years ago when I considered buying a home similar to this in Natchez, to run as an Inn.
Would have liked to see the kitchen. Stunning piece of history. I hope someone with a love of history & architecture buys this & continues the love of it.
I'll tell you, my heart just melts when I see your videos of these elegant homes. But I have got to say this one caught my eye because it had two items I love! The Tea chest and the Sewing end table. I used to cater Tea parties and I have seen since I was a little girl! Thank you so much for sharing.
You always do such a beautiful job explaining these grand homes! I will say, as far as why the staircase is not front and center , i have heard two other reasons on tours i have been on in other similar homes with a similar build date. 1. The center halls were the primary location of entertaining space in many homes , so the staircase was moved out of the way. 2 . The center halls were primarily used different day to day in “working “ homes than we usually think they were. Many being used for the business of the land and. NOt so much personal family use, as families usually lived in other homes during certain times of the year. All so interesting!
What a gorgeous place! Please thank Kevin for me for the B roll of the black cat 😺
I love to live in a home like this, absolutely beautiful xxx
Kevin & Laine. It's the next best thing to being there, taking one of your many tours; either of a home you renovated, or one you just want to share with those of us that appreciate these beautiful historical homes. I remember touring this home before, but one can never get enough of such style and elegance. Thank you for sharing your interest, knowledge and journey with all of us.
The sewing draw end table was amazing! Thank you for teaching us such history 🖤
What an absolutely gorgeous home. Those jib windows! And LOVE that sweet, black kitty.
Another amazing home! Thanks Laine and Kevin!!
Thank you for explaining what a 3-pile deep home is. Awesome video, as always!
Beautiful. It's a dream!!😁I hope some wonderful ,handsome couple is able to take this and care for it as others obviously have. It would be quite an undertaking and help would definitely be a need. I love the colors on the walls,the furnishings complement, I love the mantels,that newel post is 💋💖,I would dearly love to sit in that gazebo in a flowing white gown ,and sip a lemonade.😻Bless you sweetie!!
I hate to say it because it's a plantation but this is stunningly beautiful
The architecture is not to blame for slavery. And the enslaved who helped build it would probably appreciate your appreciation of the beauty of their work as well.
I think it would be great if it were kept as an historical museum home.
Aunt Clara would be drooling over that hand doorknob 3:16. 😂
@@flucheaux Thank you for awakening some happy memories of Aunt Clara, haven’t see her since back when Elizabeth Montgomery was still alive. She was always a favorite TV aunt.
That was a splendid tour and a most fascinating house. Thank you, Laine!
Such a fascinating place with amazing history! Thank you for sharing this magnificent home with is.
8:10 you standing there really lends perspective on how big this hallway is
I recently fell in love with some black marble tile for the salvaged mantle we're adding to the parlor of our very humble Vic...I just flipped to find out it's Egyptian marble like the mantles in this wonderful home. My husband and I both love Egyptolgy (it was my fav subject in art history college classes) so this video was a surprize and a treat. Thanks for sharing:)
Stunning !!!! The architecture is wonderful!!! Love it ! Thank you so much!!!!
Love this house so much, and lived the opportunity to see it again 🎉
One of your very best programs !l thank you!
I like the light blue color under the wrap around veranda. Really old-school English 'stuff', the color was used (still is in some parts) to ward off evil spirits, to protect the home/family.
Thank you for sharing this lovely home and its history. And your green dress is stunning!!
Absolutely extraordinary!
What a life in 1856‼️‼️‼️💚💙💜
👀💀
@@rickmorty7284Exactly. What a disgusting person.
This is truly elegant, and not overly cluttered like some are. Perfectly refined colours, too. And Laine looks beautiful to match.
OMG I just saw this home on sale the other day! Thank you so much for showing to us😍
Gorgeous 💎I Love this Thank you for sharing with us another Beautiful Video.🙏
Stunner! I cant belive how amazing those details look!!!
Hello from Texas - just fabulous, most outstanding of all I've viewed. Thank you for the show. ❤😊
Beautiful home! You and your husband are wonderful people.
GORGEOUS from top to bottom!!!
I wish I knew if these Brandon’s were related to my husband’s family. I know he has family in MS. Unfortunately everyone who would know we could ask are no longer living. Beautiful home & grounds. ❤️
Absolutely beautiful home. Watching from Johannesburg South Africa
An august piece of architecture!
I love houses with big porches, on both levels.
This is a stunning property
Beautiful !
It would be beautiful if someone offered it for weddings, with the bridal party (Or part of it) staying in the bedrooms, and the service outside or inside
It actually is.
This is one of those nice plantations.
As a modern person who lives near a large city, I'd be constantly worried about someone trying to break into those jib windows, and wondering whether I'd remembered to lock them all. Different times, indeed. I don't recall every seeing such a wide central hall; since you don't show a ballroom in the main house, my guess is that hall served the purpose, and was likely the coolest place for dancing. I always love seeing the beautiful lush grounds of these Southern homes. The locking tea caddie and sewing cabinet are great finds. Am I correct that the current owner upgraded the decor from what we saw in the previous tour? (I certainly don't mind seeing the place again!)
There were definitely some upgrades!!
You’re so freaking amazing, Layne! Love you! 🤩
MY FRIEND!!! Welcome!!❤️❤️
Spectacular
my house is smaller than that hall :) I live in a small cottage-- 14x by 18 two stories.. That is crazy that hall is 60 feet long, that is six stories tall if it were a building
Stunning!! Love the jib windows. So glad that it is in such remarkable shape. Are they planning on taking the carpet out of the bedrooms?? Thank you so much for sharing.
I like the carpet 😁
❤❤❤ Absolutely beautiful!!❤❤❤
Please please please!!! 🙏🙏🙏🙏 Please cover Arlington! Y'all are in Natchez so I'm sure you know where it is. Thomas doesn't mind trespassers as long as you're not there to damage the home.
I'm sure Mr Thomas would appreciate someone asking before they as you say "Trespass" on his property, why even put this out there.. trespassing is still illegal unless permission of the owner is granted, you saying it's ok, doesn't make it ok
@@sacredlovetarot1971 I put it out there because the home deserves to be documented and Laine would be perfect to document it. Thomas has completely let the property go and it is in an advanced state of neglect.
I'm obsessed with architecture and when I see abandoned works of art I care very little about the feelings/thoughts of the person who's let it get that way. Also, if he'd respond to requests for access, that would be helpful in stopping the trespassing.
I honestly don't care that it's illegal to trespass... Have done it numerous times with different abandoned buildings. If the owners cared so much about people being on the property, they'd do right by the property and restore it.
Also, the Declaration of Independence was illegal at the time of its signing... Pick another argument that isn't authority cult worshipping 🙏 much love and light to you so that your philosophies and thoughts may actually align with spirit
In addendum, I have run into Thomas at one of my excursions at the house... That's how I know he doesn't mind trespassers as long as you're not there to damage what's left... Pick something else to argue over... In way over your head
I know the Berrys are well aware of Arlington. From what I know, the owner is not a friend of Natchez and I don’t see ORN ever covering Arlington for so many reasons… although I’d gladly be wrong.
@@JessicaMathias3 Arguably, he's a friend to no one... A very eccentric man. He's been in legal battles with the city for years! Still in them from what I understand. Just like Jane Surget, the woman for whom Arlington was built. She was immensely popular in the society of the time but loathed by the budding government of Natchez. I am from Natchez so this area and it's history are very dear to me.
He's not as bad as people in Natchez like to say. Truly! The reason he's going through all the legal mess with the city is because he's letting the house fall and crumble through neglect. However, when the house burned in the early 2000s, the city stepped in and repaired the roof and stabilized the upstairs after the fire... But confiscated tons of antiques, art, collectibles and books in the name of "preservation". (Loads of books. Arlington, at one time, had the largest private library in the country!) The city offered to return nothing. Then went so far as to impose their "power" and ideals of restoring the house with which he greatly disagreed. That was the spark and the fire has been burning ever since.
It's beautiful.
Lovely house, lovely host.
That was wonderful, thank you.
Well, I've just told God that if he wants to transplant Brandon Hall to Heaven, I will be glad to take ownership when I get there. We'll see how that goes....
Beautiful home. Plantations are Based. Im coming down.
Beautiful
A magnificent beauty
Alright you better quit putting Momma Restoration in your videos, she’s gonna steal your job! 😂 She’s so gorgeous it’s like having Vanna White in a commercial. 🥰
Theres an interesting mansion in berkeley cal , Hills , called spring estate, wish it would be fixed to it's glory and opened to the public ? Hey maybe an opertunity ?
Beautiful but too rich for my budget. Brandon Hall really is gorgeous. Is there a plantation that is farm that goes with the home?
I must say the home is in wonderful condition.
I really enjoy your channel. I have shared it with many friends. I found your channel while researching Victorian architecture for building homes in the Sims 4 game.
Awesome, thank you!
It's a beauty! I thought this one just sold a few years ago?
It did. The owner is single and hoping to find something smaller and in town
Buenos Días, Dios te Bendiga, Amén 💋🙏❤️ Hermosa y Elegante ❤💋
Wow ❤
I wish I saw the kitchen, and that it was authentic looking.
You would have been sorely disappointed, so it’s probably best we didn’t show you 😬
@@OurRestorationNation Well, that house is REALLY worth a good kitchen restoration. 🙂
You are absolutely correct!
It’s beautiful and I’m glad there are people who will take care of these peeks into the past. But, I could not devote my life to taking care of a house this age AND have to live in Natchez. It’s a great day trip from where I live, but there is NOTHING going on there except old houses.
Ouch. We live here and love it. It’s full of great activities, good people AND old houses. I’m sorry if Natchez hurt you but I would appreciate you spitting your venom somewhere else.
@OurRestorationNation It's not venom, just because you don't agree with it. It's simply the truth. But, thank you for sharing your opinion. That is, after all, what social media is for.
Beautyfull
Beautiful ❤❤❤
Amazing!!!!!
Amazing!
the cello music when the tour is startes....which piece is it?
Wow…. Wish I had the money
Enjoyed the music soundtrack. What is that please.
Steinway!
Oh my
We did not get to see the kitchen 😢
You really look like the lady of the house is so you 😊
How much are they asking for Brandon Hall.
The Zillow link is in the description.
What in the world makes her think the lady of the house was making clothing or doing ANY kind of labor when there were slaves purchased specifically to provide all manor of free labor.
Because it’s a well documented FACT that the lady of the house was, in actuality, in charge of that very task.
Is Lansdowne, in Natchez, also a three pile room arrangement?
If I bought that house, I would keep the best of the antique pieces, but as far as couches and chairs and end tables I would get rid of most of that furniture and replace it with soft contemporary furniture with sleek design and beautiful abstract art. That would be perfect for me. I like the combination of The old charm of the house with the new styled furnishings and contemporary kitchen and contemporary bathrooms.
Was that your Mama? How cute is she!
It was!!
Why didn’t you show the most important room in the house, the kitchen?
It’s a working bed and breakfast so the commercial kitchen is almost always in use.
😊
Price?
In the Zillow listing in the description
Beautiful architecture. Just hard for me to see houses like this and not think of all the pain and blood that built and maintained them. Nazi concentration camps were ugly - so it's easy to only look at them as reminders of human evil and suffering. The beauty of these plantations camouflages the evil that made them possible, so it's easier for us to admire their grandeur and forget the whipping posts, the dogs chasing runaways, and the wails of mothers whose children were sold away. But that's true for scores of architecturally significant buildings worldwide throughout time. Luxury was often financed and built through human suffering. The best we can do now is remember so as not to repeat. Hopefully, the new caretakers will take steps to ensure the remembrance and honoring of the enslaved.
Thank you for your comments. I agree.
What is the asking price for the home?
The Zillow link is in the description
Love this house! Where is the kitchen? Or did I miss it?
There is a Zillow listing in the description, 60 photos, kitchen included. It was stated in another comment that it is a commercial kitchen and often in use.
How did this house manage to survive the Civil War
So many grand homes in Natchez did since they declared themselves neutral.
@@OurRestorationNation We're from Pennsylvania and it's neat there was a town up here that were Confederate sympathizers. The Army had to come in because the people hid their sons and wouldn't let them enlist in the Union Army.Your homes are beautiful and love your channel.👍
This is a rerelease or something?
I know I'm not psychic and I know I've seen this home...
Yes. We covered this house 2 years ago and helped sell it. It is back on the market with several changes.
@@OurRestorationNation awesome! Thanks for the explanation. I love history and architecture, too bad I'm broke!
Keep up the good work!
Slaves maintained it 😢
No la vendería? Perdón por el comentario.
Nope
Did we skip the kitchen?
It’s a commercial kitchen and usually in use.
This home goes on sale every other year. What’s wrong with it? Is it haunted or something?
The lady who purchased it lost her husband and is wanting to move in to town
Steven has haunted it since Django took him out that day.
