Belvidere is a Southern plantation with a historic cottage located in Natchez, Mississippi, USA.

History[edit]

The cottage was built circa 1837, shortly after Samuel and Robert Patterson acquired the land.^[3] In 1847, it was acquired by John Coulson, a merchant.^[3] When Coulson purchased the Cliffs Plantation from John W. Henderson in 1868, Henderson in turn purchased Belvidere.^[3]

The house was moved northwards in 1927, when the Margaret Martin Junior High School was built where it once stood.^[3]

By 1980, it still belonged to the Henderson family.^[3]

Architectural significance[edit]

The cottage was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style.^[2] It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since April 8, 1980.^[2]
