This sophisticated Greek Revival house was built of prefabricated materials for attorney Edward P. Fourniquet. A Mississippi Supreme Court case documents Fourniquet’s contract with William B. Dodson of Cincinnati for materials and Seaton of Natchez as the builder. The stylish details, fine finish, and lack of regional characteristics make it unlikely that the architect was local. The one-story, center-hall frame house rests on a partially raised brick basement, and a balustraded clerestory crowns its hipped roof. A Doric portico enlivens the facade, and its entablature extends around all elevations, which are finished in stucco where sheltered by galleries. The entrance doors are flanked by pilasters supporting a full entablature and cornice, all richly molded. In 1849, Green Leaves became home to George W. and Mary Koontz, whose descendants have carefully preserved the house and its furnishings to make it a valuable example of mid-nineteenth-century taste. Old live oak trees shade the gardens, which are filled with multiple varieties of heirloom camellias.
