The Rockledge Mansion is not exactly a hidden gem – anyone driving toward downtown can see the towering house on the hill, perched on the side of Mill Mountain just below the Roanoke Star. The mansion was built on the rocky ledge it was named for in 1929 by entrepreneur William Henritze (who, at the time, owned the entire mountain) and remains meticulously preserved by its current owners, Drs. Kevin and Nancy Dye.
