| This circa 1840 Mallard rosewood and bird's-eye maple secretary-bookcase was saved from the fire that burned Clover Hill Plantation. An antebellum family heirloom, it has passed down through the Thornhill, Callon and Stone families, and now graces the entry hall of the J. N. Stone House, a Natchez MS bed and breakfast since 2003. A rare books collection fills the shelves, including many that focus on historic Natchez Mississippi. |
