About Us

Also known as the Morse-Libby Mansion, Victoria Mansion was built between 1858 and 1860 as a summer home for two people, Ruggles Sylvester Morse and his wife Olive. They were both from Maine originally, but Morse made his fortune in New Orleans where he operated luxury hotels. This spectacular summer home was designed by architect Henry Austin of New Haven, CT and is widely considered one of the finest examples of the Italian Villa style in America.
