Built in 1897 by Mr. C.M. Shepard, this gorgeous Queen Anne home was once used as a private boarding and day school for the children of wealthy Mobile residents. Today, it's operated as a bed and breakfast, and it receives visitors from across the Southeast and beyond.
A native of Mobile, Alabama, Leslie Thompson earned his Bachelor of Arts degree from Auburn University. His first experience with art was in the second grade when his pastel drawing of a Gloucester Schooner was chosen for international exchange in the Jaycee Art Auction, which raised funds for the Mobile Museum of Art. The drawing eventually was exhibited in Paris, France. As a student at Auburn, Thompson travelled to Spain and attended the Universidad de Madrid.
