Talk:Downriver Residential Historic District

pics and specific addresses or names
Hi, I started this article to begin to make use of 34 newly available commons pics, with photo names identifying them as being in the Downriver Residential Historic District. I included 2 into the article so far (and linked to the commons category for the others), but am mildly concerned that I can't yet identify the building addresses or names. The linked NRHP nomination document includes 47 pics, but not of either of these. Since these are pretty striking buildings, i wonder why pics weren't included of them, in the NRHP doc. Anyhow, I am accepting the submitter's assertion that they are of houses in the district. (And, thanks for submitting them all!) More specific information would be welcome. -- do ncr  am  17:56, 11 September 2013 (UTC)


 * In particular i think the pic with name "File:Natchez Bluffs and Under-the-Hill Historic District-409.jpg" is in fact the Edelweiss, a house at 209 S. Broadway, located in the nearby Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District instead, not in the Downriver district. Edelweiss is described as:

15 C 209. Edelweiss. Important one-and-a-half story three-bay frame residence on raised basement with gabled roof, gable-ends on both facade and rear elevation, elaborate vergeboards, double-tiered galleries set beneath the roof on all sides; finest example of its style in Mississippi. Swiss Chalet. 1883. (owner 35 photo 27)
 * It indeed is striking, and in fact seems to be of Swiss chalet style, which i could recognize, and I noticed mention of the most spectacular example of Swiss chalet style in the On-Top's nom doc so i checked. It is in fact clearly the Edelweiss house in photo 27 (pdf page 53), from 1979, in the On-Top's accompanying photos set. -- do  ncr  am  08:06, 12 September 2013 (UTC)
