A well-known hotel and the largest in the county, by the 1850's the hotel was operated by William Rowzee and his wife Caroline. By 1870, John Oliver White became Rowzee's partner in running the hotel. In 1870 George W. Kirk's troops visited Salisbury, Rowan County after arresting someone on insurrection charges, and democratic newspapers later claimed that Kirk's men fired into the Mansion House by mistake. The hotel burnt down in 1907.
