Built in 1878, the Wallace-Hall House is a Queen Anne style historic home located in the heart of Historic Downtown Mansfield at 210 S. Main Street. Managed by the Mansfield Commission for the Arts, the home was recently converted to an art venue. The venue features three intimate rooms on the first floor that can be used for gallery exhibitions, private rental events, and art workshops.
