collectibles are made in Charleston, SC. a great addition
to your collection or a cherished gift.
When built in 1885, the Allyn Mansion was the finest house in the
Delavan area. Designed by E. Townsend Mix
and built by Alexander
Hamilton Allyn, a wealthy dairy farmer, the house is in the
Queen Anne
style with Eastlake influences.
The house was "modernized" in the
1940's and many of the architectural elements were removed.
Purchased
in 1984, the new owners found the original architectural drawings in a
basement safe and began the painstaking process of restoration.
The
porte cochere on the west side was replaced and the entire front porch
was rebuilt.
The gable and tower once again stand watch over the front
door. In 1993 all the hard work paid off.
The Allyn Mansion was
awarded the grand prize of the National Trust for Historic Preservation.
Condition: Brand new, mint in box,
never displayed, stored climate controlled
