Donnelly House and Gardens

The Donnelly House, a stunning example of Neo-classical architecture built in 1905, is located in Birmingham, Alabama. Originally the residence of industrialist James W. Donnelly, this Georgian-colonial mansion boasts over 12,000 square feet of living space adorned with exquisite white marble floors. While it primarily served as a private home, it also hosted the Birmingham Civic Ballet in the 1950s. After a complete renovation in 2011, the house now operates as an entertainment venue for weddings and events. It is recognized on the Alabama Register of Landmarks and Heritage and contributes to the Highland Avenue Historic District, making it a significant site for both tourists and researchers interested in local history and architecture.
