Mallory–Neely House

The Mallory-Neely House is a three-story Renaissance Revival mansion in Memphis containing 25 rooms filled with stained glass windows, hand-painted wall murals, and original Victorian-era furnishings. The entire interior maintains the period decor and architectural details as they were arranged in the 19th century.

The house was built in 1852 and remained in the hands of prominent Memphis families until 1969, when its final resident Daisy Neely-Mallory passed away at age 98. This long single-family ownership allowed the home to preserve its original contents and arrangement for future generations.

The home displays decorative craftsmanship of 19th-century upper-class Memphis life through its ornate parquet floors, detailed plasterwork, and hand-painted ceiling patterns. Visitors experience how wealthy families expressed their status through these handmade artistic details.

The home opens for guided tours on Fridays and Saturdays and offers accessibility features including a ground-floor entrance ramp and a carriage house ticket office. Visitors should check ahead of time for tour schedules and whether reservations are required for their visit.

The home contains stained glass windows that came from the 1893 Chicago World's Fair and have been maintained in their original placement and condition for more than 125 years. These rare windows show the home's connection to a major historical event of the late 1800s.
