Welcome to Salado and the
Rose Mansion
Just quiet class.....
Nestled among towering oaks, elms and persimmon
trees, this traditional Greek Revival style mansion, complimentary cottages and log cabins
are located on two acres of landscaped grounds surrounded by a picturesque picket fence.
The setting is perfect for croquet,
watching the world drift by or discovering the grandeur of Mother Nature from a hammock or
swing.....it's a place that is both charming and inviting.
One of the shaded seating areas
The grounds offer a mini tour of
early Texas dwellings. Texas markers and one National Register marker attest to the
authenticity of the Rose Mansion, two beautifully restored log cabins, a summer kitchen
cottage and a larger Greek Revival cottage.
The main home, built in 1870 by
Major A.J. Rose, has four bedrooms (three have fireplaces), a grand parlour, an elegant
dining room and a cozy country kitchen. The mansion is complimented with Rose family
memorabilia and authentic antiques.
A windmill with a cypress storage
tank, a rock smoke house and an old wagon are nostalgic reminders of the past. Shaded
seating areas, swings and hammocks located across the grounds compliment these
accommodations.
No wonder the Mansion was featured
in the June 1996, February and November 1999 issues of Southern Living Magazine!
The Sun Room
The Sun Room, a popular addition to
the Rose Mansion, has been added for your enjoyment. A great place to visit, make friends,
play cards, relax with a cup of coffee, etc.
