Myrtle Bank is a historic house in Natchez, Mississippi, USA.
Sir William Dunbar surveyed the land in the 18th century.[1] It was granted to George Overarker, a planter, in 1795.[1] Overarker, who also owned Hawthorne Place and Hope Farm, built Myrtle Bank prior to 1818.[1]
By 1835, Alfred Cochran and his wife Eliza, who was William Dunbar's great-granddaughter, purchased the house.[1] Two decades later, in 1856, it was purchased by Benjamin Wade, a planter.[1] Wade leased it to The Natchez Young Ladies Institute, a girl's boarding school, until the outset of the American Civil War in 1861.[1] The house remained in the Wade family until the 1870s.[1]
The house was restored by a new owner in 1957.[1]
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 22, 1978.[2]
