SHIELDS TOWN HOUSE, circa 1860, listed on the National Historical Register, is the last fine Town House built in Natchez, before the Civil War. The estate sits on 1.1 acres, on the full end of a city block and was meticulously restored in 1980 by the current owners. The property has three parcels of land, together as one, consisting of the main house with four spacious bedrooms, all ensuite, porcelain tile baths and large walk-in closets, original heart pine hardwood floors, windows and doors, two sets of pocket doors and central hall Gasolier. Other features: Baccarat Crystal chandeliers, plaster medallions, marble mantels, and silk draperies. Behind the main house is the blue slate and brick courtyard and two one bedroom suites with private entrances. Two garages - one with two spaces and the other for three cars, including a 500 square foot storage room. There are two duplexes, facing east, with two apartments each, producing more than $46,000 in income annually. All units are leased.
