This mansion, designed by an Italian architect, and built in 1850 by Joseph A.S. Acklen and his wife Adelicia, was the center of an extensive estate. Massive gates on Granny White and Hillsboro Pikes and tree-lined driveways enhanced the 180 acres that included greenhouses, gardens, zoo, lake, and the largest private art gallery in the South.
Corrections:
1. Belmont was the work of Adolphus Heiman, not an Italian architect.
2. Built in early 1850’s
3. Closer to 175, than 180 acres.

Belmont Mansion was listed in the National Register of Historic Places on May 06, 1971.
