unleith was built in Greek revival style, with twenty-six Tuscan columns
surrounding the house. The brick and stucco columns support a double
gallery with intricately designed wrought iron railings spanning the
columns. Jeffersonian windows extend from the floor to the ceiling on the
first floor, providing ventilation and easy access to the gallery from any
room.
Enclosed within the 14 ½ inch thick walls is 9,500 square feet of floor
space. The floors are made of heart pine, with cypress baseboards painted
to look like oak. Italian marble mantle pieces adorn each fireplace, and
elegantly designed ceiling medallions enhance the chandeliers hung
throughout the house.
