James Hardie (architect)

James Hardie (died 1889)[1] was an American architect of Natchez, Mississippi. Several of his works are listed on the U.S. National Register of Historic Places.[2]

Hardie was an immigrant from Scotland. He and two brothers, all carpenters, moved to Natchez in the 1830s.[1]

He designed St. Mary's Cathedral, in Natchez, which is listed on the National Register within the Natchez On-Top-of-the-Hill Historic District. The Gothic Revival brick cathedral's construction began in 1842 and it was dedicated in 1843.[3][4]
