The Buckner Mansion was built for Henry Sullivan Buckner, a Kentucky-born cotton kingpin who wanted to rival the design of his ex-business partner’s home, ‘Stanton Hall’ in Natchez Mississippi. The Buckner Mansion is a grand two-storey structure with a beautiful frontage, featuring iconic columns and a cast iron gate with two large lanterns dominating the entrance. You may recognise the house from the well-known TV series American Horror Story as it featured as ‘Miss Robichaux’s Academy for Exceptional Young Ladies’ (the all- girls boarding school for witchcraft)!
