Description

Constructed in 1834, the Barrow Mansion was one of a pair of identical grand dwellings separated by a shared garden and the home of Doctor William Barrow. Its twin, the Van Vorst-Edge Mansion, was demolished in the 1920s, but the Barrow home survived. Five two-story, ivory-colored Ionic columns divide the front into four equal bays requiring the entrance to be placed asymmetrically to the right of center. The Barrow Mansion retains much of its original detail. Located within the Van Vorst Historic District, the building offers barrier-free access.
