About this home
POTENTIAL COMMERCIAL PROPERTY!!! Historic Southern Neoclassical Gem in Mobile Oakleigh Garden District. If walls could talk, this 1903 Southern beauty would have stories to tell. Designed by legendary architect George B. Rogers famed for the Van Antwerp Building, the Egyptian-Revival Scottish Rite Temple, and so many of Mobile's most iconic landmarks, this home is both a piece of history and a potential showstopper for modern living.
From the moment you see the sweeping columns, temple-style pediment, and grand balcony, you'll know this isn't just another house it's a statement. Built as a private residence and later transformed into The Women's Clubhouse Association in 1929, it has hosted weddings, galas, and gatherings for nearly a century. And now, it's ready for your story.
Inside, soaring ceilings, floor-to-ceiling windows, and refined details set the stage. The gracious entry flows into a ballroom, parlor, and formal dining room perfect for cocktail parties, concerts, or holiday dinners. The gourmet kitchen makes entertaining effortless, with a 12-foot island, Wolfe 6-burner stove with dual ovens and induction grills, walk-in pantry, butler pantry, and wine closet. Everyday life feels just as special, with a sunny breakfast nook, inviting front parlor or sunroom, and plenty of room for casual gatherings.
The main floor includes a mother-in-law-style handicap-accessible bedroom and full bath with separate entrance; while upstairs offers four more bedrooms, a sunroom, and an expansive primary suite with en-suite bath, fireplace and sweeping views of ancient palms and oaks.
Modern comforts include a roof with radiant heat barrier (2016), updated electrical and plumbing (2007), furnace (2007), and an energy-efficient split unit in the kitchen (2015).
Beyond its beauty, this home carries a legacy. As Mobile's first venue for women's organizations, it became a hub of civic life. Today, zoned R1 but with mixed-use potential, it's ready to shine again, as a private residence, boutique inn, law office, spa, or event venue.
The location makes entertaining even sweeter. Nestled under Government Street's oak canopy, the property offers a wide driveway with some front side parking, rear parking, and membership opportunities in the Oakleigh Garden District Society, which hosts festivals, parades, and neighborhood gatherings. With Mardi Gras routes just steps away, downtown Mobile minutes from your door, and Gulf beaches a short drive beyond, you're at the center of it all.
This is more than a home. It's a landmark, a stage, and an open invitation to live and entertain in timeless style.
