Details
The Mighty Martini Bistro currently leases restaurant space and a courtyard in the Guest House, providing guests and residents of Natchez an enchanting dining experience for breakfast, lunch, or dinner.
History
The Guest House was originally a one-and-a-half story, Greek Revival townhouse built for Samuel and Jane Newman in the mid-1840s. As originally built and documented in historic photographs, the Guest House resembled the nearby John Smith House, a smaller brick cottage at the corner of North Pearl and Jefferson Streets.
In 1902-1903, the second story was completed, which is the reason for the difference of windows between the first and second floor. Since the Victorian Era renovation, many architectural features were changed from the original Greek Revival architecture. Fireplace mantels and door moldings were "modernized" into the Victorian style and the front pediment and four massive columns added. The enlarged and remodeled building also featured a swimming pool at the rear where the courtyard exists today.
In 1981, an extensive renovation was completed at the Eola Hotel across the street. The renovation provides V.I.P. guests with larger suites and guest rooms that boast period and antique furniture with exquisite draperies and wall treatments. The garden courtyard, which houses a full service restaurant, received several architectural awards for its blend of antebellum architecture and modern convenience.
The dedication to preserve the original architecture style and décor of the property, the Guest House is celebrating its 26th year as a fine hospitality establishment in the heart of historic downtown Natchez.
