Pleasant Hill was originally built by John Henderson, a prosperous merchant, publisher of the local newspaper, and a founder of Natchez' First Presbyterian Church. The original home was built on property that is now the location of another famous antebellum home, Magnolia Hall. That was 1835. Over a two-year period during the 1850's Pleasant Hill was moved one block south on log rollers by oxen teams, a feat that would seem futile by today's standards.

The ground floor, or garden floor houses four bedrooms, each with private bath, that open into a center hall/sitting area. There is also a glass enclosed, brick-floored sunroom with wet bar, TV and antique wicker furniture. It's a lovely, quiet place to relax, and the house itself is just a short walk away from antiques, shops and restaurants in the center of downtown Natchez.
