You can't go inside, or even walk on the park-size lawn, but this mint-green 1875 home (also known as the Curtiss Mansion) is worth seeing from the sidewalk. Built by banker William Davenport, it's one of the finest examples of Second Empire architecture in the state. www.salinehistory.org/davenport-curtis-house
