This home, in Natchez, is known as Edelweiss. It was built in 1883 for Joseph O’Brien who was a coal dealer. The design for this unique house is Swiss Chalet and is Mississippi’s best example of it. The design is from E. C. Gardner’s book “Illustrated Homes” that came out in 1875.
This house was purchased by Bestselling author Greg Illes in 2008 for use as his office. He now rents it out as an Air BnB. It has beautiful views of the Mississippi River!
