Preservation in Mississippi 
i remember going to the john ford house as a child when it was still a residence. and, isn’t ‘auburn’ a treasure? it is fortunate that it survives and is open to the public. i imagine that it was ‘really something’ when it was built early in the 19th century compared to much of what else was in natchez; course, many of the early natchez settlers had come from other places where they could well have seen sophisticated architecture.
and, speaking of natchez, i believe the ‘dunleith’ property has just been sold to a natchez bank; know it has been on the market since the new orleans owner declared bankruptcy. the property is a kind of ‘entertainment venue’ but it survives. hopefully, it’s overall preservation will continue. the realtor(when the house was ‘for sale’) described it as ‘the most photographed house in america’ and, while i wouldn’t know how to check that statement, well, it certainly is photogenic!
