Abstract
The Annesdale Mansion was built in 1855 by Dr. Samuel Mansfield as a wedding present for his wife. The home is now used as a venue for weddings and parties. It is located at 1325 Lamar Avenue in the Central Gardens area of Memphis. The home is designed in the Italianate architectural style and made of brick. The mansion features a large square tower. There is a porch with repeated round arches. Most of the windows are either arch shaped or have decorative fanlights. There are many balconies and porches around the house. There is an ornate bracketed cornice around the building. There are bay windows on rear side of the house. To learn more see Memphis: An Architectural Guide by Eugene J Johnson.
