Arlington, located in Natchez, Mississippi, is a historic Federal style estate that encompasses 55 acres and includes three significant buildings. Recognized for its historical value, it was added to the National Register of Historic Places in 1973 and declared a National Historic Landmark the following year. Despite a devastating fire that severely damaged the main house, leading to its inclusion on Mississippi's 10 most endangered historic places in 2009, Arlington remains a symbol of early 19th-century architecture.

Tradition credits the construction of Arlington to John Hampton White and his wife, Jane Surget White, around 1819-1820, though the exact architect remains unknown. The property's history traces back to Lewis Evans, who initially bought the land in 1806, establishing a plantation. The land, along with Evans' house, was sold to Jonathan Thompson in 1814, who then sold it to Jane Surget White in 1818. Tragically, John Hampton White passed away in 1819 during a yellow fever outbreak, and Jane followed in 1825, leaving behind a legacy encapsulated in the architecture of Arlington.
