Found a bit of ‘Old Florida’... I think it’s perfect. Built in 1930:: 11th Ave S & 3rd St S:: Naples, Florida #oldhouselove #curbed #archi_ologie #iloveoldbuildings #oldflorida #oldnaples #naples_fl #accidentallywesanderson #theamericanhome #brickstory #naplesfl #naplesflorida #swflorida

This place is #worthy of a repost. Tucked away behind trees and an iron gate overlooking Lamar Avenue, Annesdale Mansion is a stunning example of 1850s opulence. Built by druggist Dr. Samuel Mansfield, the Italian-style villa was once used as a hospital for victims of the Battle of Shiloh. In 1869, Robert Brinkley bought the house as a wedding present for his daughter Annie Overton Brinkley and her husband Robert Snowden. Both Brinkley and Snowden had much to do with the development of Memphis and attracted George Peabody to invest in numerous ventures without even visiting the city. Heirs of the prominent Snowden family lived in the home for 160 years and it is now a venue for weddings and special events. #nationalregisterofhistoricplaces @annesdalemansion

Featured House: East Allegheny // photo by: @pghbox Congrats to all the runners out there today in Pittsburgh! What is your favorite neighborhood to run in?

I pass by this house often and have always wanted to stop for a photo, so with no cars parked outside and a tiny dusting of snow it seemed like the perfect opportunity. This beyond gorgeous mansion is one that if you live in Louisville you are probably well aware of and with good reason. The classic lines, gorgeous window details, and two side porticoes are such standouts...I’ve even heard a rumor that there is an elevator inside though I have no idea if that’s true I do know that this fantastical home is pure perfection. So who else is wondering what the inside looks like?! ‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️‍♀️

According to their website, Salem’s Pickering House (c.1660’s) is thought to be the oldest remaining house in Salem and was inhabited by the same family for three and a half centuries! Pretty amazing! . #purelysalem

At 652 Adams Ave....Victorian at its best ..the Mallory–Neely mansion! The house was originally built in 1852 as a 2story Italianate for banker Isaac Kirtland. In 1869 the mansion was purchased by cotton broker Benjamin Babb. Then in 1883, James Neely, yet another cotton broker purchased the house. Wealthy & with a large family, Neely would transform the house into the grand villa that it is. He added a 3rd story & extended the tower to 4 stories. The interiors would be remodeled into lavish 1890’s decor. By the early 1900’s the villa passed onto Neely’s youngest daughter Daisy & her husband Barton Mallory who was also a cotton broker! There they raised 3 children. Barton died in 1938, but his widow Daisy would live there till her death at 98 yrs old in 1969! The heirs would deed the mansion to the DAR with the idea of turning it into a house museum, which happened in 1987. Daisy did very little changes to the house while living there, other than minor improvements in kitchen & bathrooms. Other than that...the house is a time capsule of the 1890’s & will delight any who love Victorian extravagance. House is kept very dark to help preserve delicate interiors.

I am lucky enough to live on the same street as the Peirce-Nichols house (c.1782), and so I pass by this spectacular Samuel McIntire designed fence almost daily. Last night I caught it at just the right time! . #purelysalem #sunset

At 1007 Pennsylvania St.... Pennsylvania St was once “the” address to build an impressive mansion in the prestigious Capitol Hill neighborhood. No small wonder that in 1890, John McMurtrie Chief Engineer of the Denver RxR would build one of the most elaborate houses on that street! The Romanesque fantasy in local red sandstone, had a red tiled roof that was punctuated with a forest of tall chimneys, chateauesque styled turrets, and Flemish styled gables. The main rooms were paneled in exotic hand carved woods with marble fireplaces. Every room is rumored to be done in different colors. After McMurtrie’s death in 1899, the manse was purchased by entrepreneur John Good who amassed a fortune thru railroads, real estate, mining & breweries! Mrs. Good was quite the socialite, and the sandstone palace was known for its parties. John died in 1918, and his widow continued to live in the house till her death in 1936. In 1941 the huge mansion became a rooming house for men that lasted thru the 1950’s. By the early 60’s the house was vacant & the Capitol Hill neighborhood was now taken over by apartments & commercial use buildings. The once magnificent home, had no viable recycle value & was replaced with an apartment complex in 1965.
