Brandon Hall (Washington, Mississippi)

Brandon Hall is a Greek Revival architecture style house built in 1856 in Washington, Mississippi, United States.

The land on which Brandon Hall now stands first passed into private ownership as a royal grant from the Spanish King Carlos III in 1788.

In 1833 Chew sold the property to Nathaniel Hoggatt, a successful planter whose daughter Charlotte inherited the land after his death.

On October 29, 1840, Charlotte Hoggatt married Gerard Brandon III, who was the son of an early Governor of Mississippi and the grandson of a Revolutionary War Hero of the same name.

In January 1914, the plantation, house, and land was sold to George Hightower as a result of a default on a promissory note, thus ending an 81-year chain of ownership by the Brandon and Hoggatt families.
