Situated at 163 Highway 5 in Fayette, Missouri, Lilac Hill Estate is an architectural treasure built in 1832 by Alfred William Morrison, a renowned Missouri surveyor and state treasurer. This historic two-story red brick Federal/Early Classical Revival home, one of the oldest in Central Missouri, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
