Dorsey Mansion, Gothic Victorian mansion in Springer, New Mexico

The mansion combines log cabin and stone fortress elements with Gothic Victorian architecture, featuring a cathedral ceiling and marble fireplace imported from Italy.

Stephen W. Dorsey, a United States Senator from Arkansas, constructed this mansion between 1878 and 1886 using wealth obtained through mail contracts.

The mansion's dining room, with seating for 60 people, represented the grandest residential entertainment space in the region during the late 19th century.

The property, located 12 miles north of US Route 56, remains in private ownership and does not currently offer public access or guided tours.

The mansion's front tower displays gargoyle sculptures depicting Dorsey, his wife, and brother, alongside a swimming pool and fountain installation.
