It has been listed on the National Register of Historic Places since December 17, 1969.[1] The house is operated as a Victorian period historic house museum by the Cairo Historical Association. HistoryThe manor was built by the Cairo businessman Charles A. Galigher in 1869. It is a 14-room red brick house which features double walls intended to keep out the city's famous dampness with their ten-inch airspaces. Inside the home are many original, 19th-century furnishings. Galigher became a friend of Ulysses S. Grant during the time Grant had command in Cairo. When Grant retired after two terms as president he was subject of a lavish celebration at Magnolia Manor.[2] Notes1. ^1 {{NRISref|version=2010a}} 2. ^Cairo, Illinois Attractions {{webarchive|url=https://archive.is/20120709055810/http://dig.lib.niu.edu/twain/culturaltourism/cairo-attractions.html |date=2012-07-09 }}, Mark Twain's Mississippi River, Northern Illinois University Libraries.
