Leslie-Alford-Mims House, Greek Revival mansion in Holly Springs, North Carolina.
The Leslie-Alford-Mims House is a two-story Greek Revival frame dwelling near Holly Springs. Its front facade has a two-tier, pedimented Doric entrance portico. Additions and modifications made about 1876 and 1900 brought Colonial Revival elements, and a family cemetery stands on the property.
The earliest section of the Leslie-Alford-Mims House was built about 1840 as a two-story Greek Revival frame dwelling. Additions and modifications followed around 1876 and 1900, bringing in Colonial Revival design elements. During the American Civil War, a segment of the Union Army set up headquarters in the house. It was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1997.
The house is now run as a wedding venue by Brooke Everhart, so its parlors and portico serve ceremonies rather than formal calls. The name joins three families linked to the property: Leslie, Alford and Mims. A family cemetery stands on the grounds as a contributing element of the listing.
The property is accessible to visitors and operates primarily as an event venue, especially for weddings and special celebrations. You should plan ahead since not all areas of the grounds may be open at all times.
