The Alexander Mansion Today
The Alexander Mansion is one of the last remaining stately homes on Ross Avenue, standing as a rare and visible link to Dallas’s early 20th-century past. While many historic homes have been lost to development, this one remains—restored, active, and welcoming. It’s not a museum, but a place where history still breathes.
A Landmark with a Purpose
Today, the Mansion hosts a wide variety of cultural and seasonal events that connect Dallas residents to their history in meaningful ways. Visitors step inside not only to admire the neoclassical architecture and period details but to experience the timeless feeling of gathering in a home with a story.
From holiday teas to literary talks, the Mansion plays a quiet but important role in the cultural life of the city. It offers a space that feels both rare and familiar—a place to belong, to reflect, and to celebrate.
The Role of Preservation
Since 1930, the Mansion has remained standing because it has been loved and cared for by the Dallas Woman’s Forum. We have protected this house not just as caretakers, but as believers in its cultural value. Our stewardship allows the Mansion to remain a place where the public can continue to learn, gather, and celebrate.
Every seasonal event, each repaired window, and every restored detail ensures the Mansion’s story continues—not just as part of the past, but as part of today’s Dallas.
Get Involved in the Mansion’s Future
The Alexander Mansion has stood for over a century—but its future depends on the care and commitment of people who believe in the power of place. You don’t need to be a preservationist to make a difference. Every guest who attends a seasonal tea, every volunteer who lends a hand, and every donation toward restoration helps keep this home alive and accessible to the public.
Whether you want to share in a long-standing tradition or help protect a historic structure, there are many ways to support the Mansion:
- Join us at an upcoming event
- Pitch in during a volunteer day
- Help fund a preservation project
- Spread the word about this hidden gem on Ross Avenue
Each act of support—big or small—helps ensure that the Alexander Mansion remains a place where Dallas history continues to be felt, seen, and shared.
