The Woodruff-Fontaine House in Memphis, Tenn., was constructed in 1871 on Adams Avenue, which was once known as “Millionaire’s Row.”
It’s in the French Victorian style and was one of more than 30 opulent homes in the area at the time. Just a few of the home survive today, and the area is quite a bit less-than-opulent today.
The home was built for Amos Woodruff, a successful carriage maker, but when money ran tight he sold the home in 1883 to businessman Noland Fontaine. The Fontaines lived in the home until 1929, at which time it became part of the art school that was in residence next door. When the school moved in 1959, the house sat vacant until it was acquired by the Association for the Preservation of Tennessee Antiquities in 1961.
The house has been restored (though work is ongoing) and is filled with period antiques and some artifacts that are original to the home. It is fancy!

I like that period clothing on mannequins was in many rooms. It helps bring historical context to the rooms.
I think they change it up every few months, but I agree, I liked it!
