Oakleigh Historic Complex, Greek Revival mansion in Mobile, United States.

The Oakleigh Historic Complex features a T-shaped main house with additional structures including a working-class cottage and Union barracks on two acres.

Built in 1833 by brick mason James W. Roper, the property changed ownership after the Panic of 1837 and was later acquired by the Irwin family.

The house museum displays the living conditions of cotton merchants in the 1800s through period furniture, decorative arts, and architectural elements.

Tours operate Tuesday through Saturday from 10:00 am to 4:00 pm, with adult admission at $12, senior tickets at $10, and children aged 6-17 at $5.

The name combines the word oak with the Anglo-Saxon term lea, meaning meadow, reflecting the original 33-acre woodland setting of the property.

Location: Alabama

Architectural style: Greek Revival architecture
