History
The mansion was built in the 1850s for Absalom Sharp (1824-1893), a prominent cotton merchant from Pennsylvania. Additionally, he owned up to 900 acres of cotton fields and farmland. Whereas upstairs there used to be a ballroom, it was reconverted into bedrooms as well as a dining-room and a study in the 1870s.
It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since March 19, 1982. It now serves as a bed & breakfast.
