Mallory-Neely House — Attraction in Memphis

Five stars because of Mark’s fantastic personality and AMAZING wealth of information about the house and Memphis history; I must have asked him thirty questions and he was kind enough to answer them all with precision and excellence!

Now, for the house itself: it is beautiful and quite imposing on the outside. On inside you can tell that the house is in a long-term period of repair and updating. The third floor is not accessible nor are there any plans to access it, and the second floor is about 45% restored. The first floor is beautiful and has had the most amount of restoration and work done to it. During the tour Kate did an excellent job of providing information and answering questions. I have toured a lot of Victorian homes in the tri-state area and this home is probably in the earliest stages of interior restoration.

For the price ($16) I’d say it’s a pretty good experience overall. The good news is that almost all of the furnishings in the house are original to it, which is really rare as far as these Victorian homes...

The worst tour I have every been on. This senior citizen was trying to do the guided tour, she was awful. My husband and I left before we got to the second floor, she had us outside the house in the stemming memphis sun, while half __ trying to talk about the out side .she was so boring if you had not been walking you would have fell asleep. I been on historic tours all around the world, came Home to Memphis and had to walk out. I wish the younger lady had done our tour. I am not against seniors, for I am a senior, Lady take my advice and go home or find another job. Your voice is to boring to be a tour guide. Couldn't you tell by the look on everyone face you were doing a BAD JOB. She wasted over and hour of my time, talking about nothing and was still not finished. I must find out your off day and return. As long as you are giving tours people take it from me and just run. DON'T waste your quarters in the meter. She was beyond bad. Please...

I visited here on a quiet day and ended up getting a guided tour all to myself! My guide was wonderfully informative, friendly and chatty, and even offered me some antihistamines to help with the allergies I was suffering from during my visit. She told me all about the history of the house and the conservation work that they were carrying out and I thoroughly enjoyed my visit. The area that the house is situated is known as “Victorian Village” as there are a number of these grand Victorian properties on several streets, so it’s well worth having a walk around and seeing them all as they’re all very beautiful. (As a side note, some of them are closed to the public, but a few offer tours, and some have been...
