Allandale Mansion

Intriguing history and southern elegance create the romantic setting of Kingsport's Allandale Mansion, often called Kingsport's "White House." Built in 1950 by Ruth and Harvey Brooks, Allandale still houses their fine furnishings, antiques and art.

Allandale Mansion was willed to the City of Kingsport in 1969. It is a classic example of Georgian architecture with four chimneys, a hipped roof and formal fireplaces in the main rooms. In true Georgia style, a grand curved wooden staircase dominates the mansion's foyer.

Since 1983, the house and grounds have been an exciting part of Kingsport's civic and social life. Now, the mansions easy access to all points of interest and leisure activities in Northeast Tennessee and Southwest Virginia makes it a favorite spot for elegant weddings and receptions, bridal showers and rehearsal dinners.

If the mansion is too formal for your taste, you might consider the newly redecorated barn. A more casual party place, it has a hayloft for dancing, a stage for musicians and a butler's pantry for serving refreshments. Often used for dances, the barn is perfect for casual wedding rehearsal dinners and weddings, buffet dinner parties and special events. Rustic outdoor tables are on hand for all sorts of picnics.

Inside and out, Allandale Mansion is a treasure of lovely and historic surroundings.
