Site of The Claiborne Barland House

The Queen Anne style house was built in the 1890s for Walter and Alice Claiborne Barland and stood at 84 St. Catherine Street until it was demolished in the 1990s. 

The store that once stood in front of the house no longer exists. Walter Barland was a successful Natchez merchant who operated a grocery and dry goods store at 603 Franklin Street. Alice Barland was an African American born to an unknown member of the family of congressmen and historic J. F. H. Claiborne of Adams County. Alice died in 1913 and Walter in 1914.
