old mansion
Venerable grand residence
An old mansion is a large, once-grand house showing its age—typically Victorian or earlier architecture with visible wear or outdated features.
The phrase often carries connotations of faded elegance, mystery, or slight decay: The old mansion at the end of the street had been empty for years.
In horror and gothic contexts, old mansions are stock settings for hauntings and secrets.
