The Bragg-Mitchell Mansion is a historic antebellum home located in Mobile, Alabama.

Built: 1855 by Judge John Bragg

Style: Greek Revival architecture — famous for its tall columns, grand portico, and sweeping verandas.

Size: Around 13,000 square feet with 22 rooms.

Grounds: Surrounded by majestic live oaks and manicured gardens.

The mansion was a seasonal home for Judge Bragg’s family, used mainly during Mobile’s social season.

During the Civil War, much of the interior furniture was moved inland for safekeeping — much of it was lost.

Over the years, it passed through several owners, eventually being restored in the mid-20th century.

It’s open to the public for tours, weddings, and special events.

The mansion is one of Mobile’s most photographed landmarks and a centerpiece of the city’s historic charm.

Can almost see the slaves working the fields.

This was more of an entertainment home than a plantation. You see alot of old plantations in Louisiana that are still being restored and renovated.
