Notes
- Title from photographer's inventory.
- Original name Hope Villa. Built by Carlos de Grandpre. Simple Spanish provincial architecture. Mary Routh Ellis sold the farm to Eli Montgomery in 1833, and for 90 years it remained in Montgomery family.
- Building/structure dates: ca. 1789.
- Related name: Mr. Balfour Miller.
- From verso: Spain and England met here. Hope Farm, charming in its simplicity, has a section built in 1775, when the English owned the Natchez area. Then, in 1790, the Spanish Governor Carlos de Grandpre added the gallery with its ornamented, sturdy columns. The building shows a merger of two different elements of building, and of two varying cultures.
