One of Charlotte's most iconic buildings and a wonderful example of colonial revival architecture, The Duke Mansion was built in 1915 as a home of Zeb Taylor. Several owners later, James Buchanan Duke bought this elegant Southern home for his daughter and tripled it in size. It became one of his many legacies, together with Duke University and the Duke Endowment. Listed on the National Register of Historic Places, the mansion was opened in 1998 as a meeting center and historic inn, operating as a nonprofit organization. All proceeds are used to maintain and protect the mansion as a community treasure. It now offers 20 uniquely decorated opulent guest rooms with all modern amenities, a business center, a library, and a lovingly tended 4.5-acre garden.
