Banning House, Greek Revival mansion in Wilmington, Los Angeles, United States.
The white residence features tall columns, symmetrical shapes, and extensive porches across its 24 rooms spread over multiple floors.
Constructed in 1863 by Phineas Banning, the mansion served as a gathering place for politicians, military officers, and business leaders throughout the nineteenth century.
The residence incorporates architectural elements from both Southern plantation and Greek Revival styles, reflecting the period's social aspirations in Los Angeles County.
