As preservationist Mary Carol Miller talked with Mississippians about her books on lost mansions and landmarks, enthusiasts brought her more stories of great architecture ravaged by time. The twenty-seven houses included in her new book are among the most memorable of Mississippi's vanished antebellum and Victorian mansions. The list ranges from the oldest house in the Natchez region, lost in a 1966 fire, to a Reconstruction-era home that found new life as a school for freed slaves. From two Gulf Coast landmarks both lost to Hurricane Katrina, to the mysteriously misplaced facades of Hernando's White House and Columbus's Flynnwood, these homes mark high points in the broad sweep of Mississippi history and the state's architectural legacy. Miller tells the stories of these homes through accounts from the families who built and maintained them. These structures run the stylistic gamut from Greek revival to Second Empire, and their owners include everyone from Revolutionary-era soldiers to governors and scoundrels.

Internationally renowned, Mayfair is comprised principally of the important estates of the Grosvenors and Berkeleys. It has always been an area where the affluent resided. This work is the first to catalogue in detail the architectural losses of this area. It provides detailed descriptions in text, photographs and drawings, building on the work of the Survey of London in providing such a record. Though describing the losses, it also contains an appendix of the best of the survivors for the reader to see in Mayfair or in nearby Marylebone. Owners, key artisans and, of course, architects are listed. Fully indexed.
