Originally called Leslie Manor, this distinctive local landmark was built by Archibald Leslie for his bride Isabelle Rogers. The mansion reflects the antebellum prosperity of Holly Springs. Its 38 rooms include a ballroom with a musician's gallery and separate parlors for gentlemen and ladies. A general store, blacksmith shop, brick kiln, turpentine distillery and slave quarters were also on the property. Occupied as headquarters for Union officers in April 1865, the house was spared damage or looting by the receding troops through the legendary charm of Mrs. Leslie. In the 1870s, Col. G. B. Alford acquired the mansion, adding the third floor, side wings and widow's walk. This National Register home is a true example of the grandeur of the old south.
