The Oakleigh Mansion

imageWe went to the Oakleigh Mansion this past weekend.  I haven’t been there in years.  It was great to experience one of Mobile’s attractions that I really take for granted.  It’s a beautiful house!  But rather neglected from what I remember.  It’s sad to see it in such need of repair.  But still worth the trip!  Phillip and I love to check out older historic homes and take mental notes of the architecture and detail that we hope to incorporate into a new house one day…

If you are interested in checking it out yourself, see the Historic Mobile Preservation Society’s website here:
