The Linton House at 304 N. Commerce St. was built around 1810 and enlarged and remodeled in the 1830s. The house was converted to a duplex in the late 19th century and was remodeled in the early 20th century to become a 12-unit apartment building. It suffered a fire on June 5, 1986, and was acquired by the Historic Natchez Foundation in November of that year. The Foundation restored the exterior before selling the house to Ginger and Spike Newman, who subsequently completed the restoration. These photos are part of a series of before and after photographs commemorating the 50th anniversary of the Historic Natchez Foundation.
