The mansion is only one of two surviving mansions from the "Silk Stocking" district along Ross Avenue -- the other being the Belo Mansion -- and unfortunately, access is limited due to the neighborhood's being a little on the rough side. They do hire the mansion out for weddings and special functions like book signings, and they have a website (
visit link) listing when they're open to the public.
