Annesdale was built around 1850 by Dr. Samuel Mansfield. It is one of the largest and oldest homes to grace the Memphis area. The mansion sits on over 7 acres of land located in the Annesdale Snowden Historic District. Robert Brinkley, who built the Peabody Hotel, bought the estate as a wedding present for his daughter, Annie Overton Brinkley, and her husband, Colonel Robert Bogardus Snowden and named the estate "Annesdale" in her honor. The Annesdale Mansion and its gardens were home to the Snowden family for more than 160 years, during which it served as a Civil War hospital for a brief period of time. The mansion has 17,000 square feet that include the grand parlor, library, sun room, dining room, and full kitchen downstairs. After walking up the show-stopping spiral staircase, there is access to the bride's room, groom's den, and green room. There are 11 fireplaces in the mansion accented by crystal chandeliers, hand-painted ceilings, walnut paneling, and a marble entryway. There are five bathrooms. Once outside the mansion, the ceremony garden creates a beautiful romantic setting with shade and perfect lighting for wedding ceremonies, cocktail hours, or outdoor dinner events. There is a large limestone patio that doubles as a dance floor and outside entertaining area. In the midst of the side yard, there is a cobblestone path that leads to an intimate fountain area, This magnificent historic property was named by Southern Living magazine as Memphis' finest wedding venue. Since purchased by Ken Robison, he has completely restored this property from every angle including structural, electrical, mechanical, landscaping, limestone patios, and much much more. A new owner could re-constitute the business there, renting the luxurious, romantic setting especially for wedding events. The mansion is sited near the back of the 7 acres, providing land for new uses. And as a residence, the mansion could become home to a new family immediately. For developers, there is ample land area for new construction of residential units. New housing could be tailored for older residents especially in the 55+ age range. One possibility is a new residential development that uses the mansion as an amenity-filled clubhouse. There are a few diagrams that have been proposed in the photo section of this web page.
