Angelety House

Located at 180 St. Catherine Street, this 1850s cottage was occupied by the Emile Angelety family at the turn of the 20th century. Angelety was an African American brick mason contractor who also operated a wood yard on St. Catherine Street. The City of Natchez acquired the cottage and restored the house as part of a 1970s urban renewal project that demolished entire neighborhoods of historic buildings for construction of new housing along St. Catherine Street. Today the building serves as headquarters for the Southwest Mississippi Chapter of the National Coalition of 100 Black Women, Inc.
