View on Google MapsI did the self guided tour, but there was a detailed intro by one of the staff to kick off the tour. The home is in great shape, has tons of period furniture and items to check out. The home is taken care of by a group who clearly are passionate about what they do. The caretakers are excited to share their knowledge and continue to restore the house for future generations to enjoy. One really cool part was the false door in the main floor area as you walk into the buildings main entrance. It exists only for symmetry of design and doesn’t actually go anywhere , but It has the signatures of many of the original builders on it from 1871!
One of 6 mansions left. The guide is excellent, and wish she just came with us. She did give us a peek of the basement! Our bonus for being the only people on the tour.
We loved hearing the history & being able to tour at our own pace. The rooms were set with period furnishings & accessories. The staff was helpful. It was a beautiful home, we would recommend touring for anyone coming to Memphis!

Viator easy to navigate. Loved the Woodfuff Fontaine house. Georgia was wonderful explaining the history to us
The staff is very friendly and knowledgeable. The house has been renovated very well. The self-guided tour has lots of excellent information. The period pieces include some that are original to the home and have been donated by descendants of the former owners. Instead of traditional “Do not touch” signs, the house has signs that say something like, “Everyone who ever touched this lovely piece is now dead. Play it safe and keep your fingers to yourself.” Clever way to get the message across.
The home is beautiful and the staff are very informative and helpful. Upon arrival one must knock on the door to be let in as it is locked at all times. I highly recommend taking an uber rather than walking.
Friendly staff to check in and give you the family basics and answer any questions. Beautiful home and interesting to learn a little bit about the family and other historic events of the time. We were in the home about an hour.
Beautiful preserved and restored mansion showcasing Victorian era living. Self-guided tour, but docents were available for questions and additional information. Exhibits change seasonally, so will return to see new material.
Great historic mansion. As we were staying opposite we had to visit and were not disappointed, the house has been restored beautifully by the preservation society and the guide was super informative about the houses history. Sad that so few of these mansions survived urban renewal. Some fabulous details downstairs, the door hinges were so ornate!
We needed to kill some time and elected to go to the Woodruff-Fontaine house. We enjoyed the architecture and furniture. The history was very interesting. I highly recommend this and the other houses on the block.
