VICTORIA MANSION Also known as the Morse-Libby House, the Mansion was built between 1858 and 1860 as a summer home for Ruggles Sylvester Morse, a Maine native who made his fortune in New Orleans as the proprietor of luxury hotels. The quality and preservation of its interiors make Victoria Mansion an unparalleled example of pre-Civil War grandeur. 207.772.4841 | vlevesque@victoriamansion.org victoriamansion.org
