The Neibert-Fisk House, also known as Choctaw, is a historic mansion in Natchez, Mississippi, USA.

History[]

Choctaw, by Frances Benjamin Johnston, 1938

The land belonged to Sir William Dunbar in the early 19th century.^[2] In 1826, it was inherited by one of his sons, Archibald Dunbar.^[2]

The mansion was built for Joseph Neibert, a real estate speculator, in 1836.^[2] It was designed in the Greek Revival architectural style. It is believed to have been designed and built by carpenter James Hardie, but Neibert may have further added to the design.^[2] It was purchased by , a merchant and philanthropist, in 1844.^[2] Fisk was active in the Mississippi Colonization Society, which repatriated slaves to Africa prior to the American Civil War of 1861–1865.^[2]

By 1855, the mansion was purchased by George Malin Davis, an attorney.^[2] From 1915 to 1919, it was home to Stanton College, a women's college.^[2] By 1937, it was purchased by the City of Natchez, and restored.^[2] A fire damaged the first floor in 1978, but it was subsequently restored again.^[2]

It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since January 22, 1979.^[1]
