The Mansion is a very romantic, Eastlake Victorian home built in 1898. Heavily laden gingerbread porches surround three sides of the home exposing old southern extravagance no longer seen. The Barr Mansion and its grounds offer a multitude of location choices for your next event. The Artisan Ballroom is a "green building" with soul. Massive rough-hewn timbers from an ancient barn built in the 1770's were taken apart, carefully numbered and transported from New York's Catskill Mountains, to form the building's massive framework. The front facade soars over 40 feet, is composed entirely of delicate glass, and allows the beauty of the inside to be a part of the glory of the gardens outside. Barr Mansion and Artisan Ballroom is a small, innovative company that has taken a clearly unique approach to special events. The gardens are beautifully manicured for ceremonies and garden parties. Each year we plant over 1,000 bulbs which primarily bloom during the winter months, followed by profuse blooms from antique roses, hollyhocks, bridal wreath, bluebonnets, fox glove, iris and other historically accurate flowers. An oriental zen garden adds to the wonder as you approach the Artisan Ballroom on a path comprised of colossal flagstones. Our new garden, we are calling the Garden of Eden, will have a more exotic, tropical feel with bamboos, gingers, hostas.
