Alfred Kelley mansion, Greek Revival mansion in Downtown Columbus, United States.

The mansion featured gray sandstone walls from Eastern Ohio quarries and included a symmetrical design with prominent classical columns at its entrance.

Alfred Kelley, serving in both Ohio House and Senate from 1814 to 1857, constructed this residence between 1836 and 1838 for 15,000 dollars.

The building functioned as Ohio governor's mansion under James Campbell from 1890 to 1892 and later operated as St. Joseph's Cathedral School.

The property included an advanced drainage system with a vaulted tunnel connecting the cellar to Fifth Street to manage the marshy terrain.

During the 1842 Canal Fund crisis, Kelley used this mansion as collateral to prevent Ohio from falling into bankruptcy.
