Lesley-Travers Mansion
Lesley-Travers Mansion, Gothic Revival mansion in New Castle, Delaware.
The Lesley-Travers Mansion features a two-story brick structure with a five-bay design, multiple wings, and a prominent five-story tower topped by a slate-covered gable roof.
Baltimore architects Thomas and James Dixon designed this residence for Dr. Allen Voorhees Lesley in 1855, with construction carried out by Augustin Van Kirk from Salem, New Jersey.
The mansion exhibits architectural elements that contrast with New Castle's predominant Georgian and Federal styles, marking a shift in 19th-century residential design preferences.
Located at 112 West Sixth Street, the mansion spans 3 acres and maintains original features including speaking tubes, servants' bells, and a central heating system.
The residence contains three major adjoining rooms accessed from the entrance hall, featuring a three-sectioned oak stairway and cast-iron window sills throughout the structure.
