The 1812 mansion anchors Duncan Park and has<br />
become the responsibility of the Historic Natchez<br />
Foundation. It is currently being renovated by Laine and<br />
Kevin Berry, who have a love for old things—old houses,<br />
to be exact. They are drawn to them like moths to a flame,<br />
and they discovered a plethora of old-house riches in<br />
Natchez. The couple has a show called Our Restoration<br />
Nation that chronicles their many projects. “We have been<br />
doing restoration work together for 25 years,” Laine says.<br />
Carter Burns, the executive director of the Historic<br />
Natchez Foundation, had been following the Berrys on<br />
social media and reached out to them about restoring a<br />
home in Natchez. They moved here in 2020 and purchased<br />
a home which they restored in 2021. The historic home,<br />
built in 1896, is located on Linton Avenue. Last year they<br />
purchased Hope Farm. The house was built from 1780<br />
to 1792 by Carlos de Grand Pre’.<br />
