Completed in 1886, The Wentworth Mansion was built for a wealthy cotton merchant and his family. Built in second empire style, this elegant mansion is nearly 24,000 sq. ft. and has 4 stories. For Architecture in Society 102, we had a private tour through the mansion. I loved seeing all the different trades fit perfectly in one structure.
