Description
''Edelweiss'' is Mississippi's premier example of the Swiss Chalet style of architecture and the most picturesque of the Victorian houses built in Natchez during the Post-Civil War period. The architectural integrity of the exterior and the main story are outstanding. Built in 1883, the design of the house was probably designed by a drawing (page 171) in an 1875 pattern book entitled, Illustrated Homes, by E. C. Gardner. It was built as the residence of Joseph O'Brien, a dealer in Pittsburgh coal on the Natchez waterfront. This house offered the O'Brian family a beautiful view of the MS River and a convenient location at the top of Silver St., which led from the bluff to the river's edge. Edelweiss deteriorated during the first half of the 20th century and was converted to apartments. It then went under a major restoration ca/ 1960 but deteriorated considerably by the time is was purchased in 2008 by the late NY Times best selling author Greg Iles of Natchez. One can't help but fall in love with this incredible and unique masterpiece atop the MS River bluff with outstanding views offered by the wrap around porches. The careful and meticulous care taken while restoring this property is apparent as soon as you walk through the door. The large back and side yards are also a bonus. Don't miss out on owning a piece of Natchez history!
