Information & history on rear of plaque:
Glen Auburn, an exampe of French Second Empire,  is historically called the Christian Schwartz House.   Construction began soon after 1873,  when the lot was sold to Christian Schwartz.   It is believed the house was completed in 1875,  when charges for interior decorations appeared in the papers of a local paint and wallpaper store.   Christian Schwartz is a classic example of the post Civil War merchant class supplanting the economically depressed planter class.   Today the house has been renovated to reflect the 1870's era in which it was built.

Built prior to 1789,  King's Tavern is believed to be the oldest building in Nachez.   Built of cypress planking,  sun-baked bricks and massive ship's timbers,  the tavern dates back to the Spanish period in Natchez.   The first US mail to reach Natchez was brought here for distribution by an Indian runner.
     King's Tavern has at least one permanent resident,  a ghost named Madeline.   Legend says that Madeline was mistress to the taverns owner and namesake,  Richard King,  in the late 1700's.   When Kings wife found out,  she had Madeline murdered and bricked into the fireplace in the main dining room.   In the 1930s,  three skeletons were unearthed in the tavern.   Two skeletons belonged to young men,  the other was that of a young women with a knife found close by.   Now run as a restaurant and bar,  Madeline often plays pranks on the staff and guests.   Although Madeline is the most well known ghost haunting the tavern,  she is not,  however,  the only one.
