Completed in April of 1893 by Oliver Lawrence Queen, founder of Queen Industries .
The Neo-Antibellum Mansion is one of the most notable locations in Star City. It was built by Queen Industries founder Oliver Lawrence Queen, a second generation Welsh immigrant.
The house itself has been updated as does not retain it's historic aspects. The 24 room residence has an indoor swimming pool, three formal ballrooms, indoor gym, and ornate dining room. In the high society of the late victorian era the house was the center of "Polite Society".
The current owner of the house, Mr. Oliver Jonas Queen, does not partake of much of the "High Society" his forefathers saw as so necessary. The house is instead used as a private residence and it only opened to the public by appointment and for the larger charity events the family hosts. Visitors can contact the Tourism Office for dates and time when tours are available. The removed historical aspects of the house can be seen at the "Founders Hall" floor of the Queen Industries Tower.
