Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The South-West Mountains are located in the center of Albemarle County, Virginia. The list of those who have lived there is a long and honored one. It is the birthplace of presidents, governors, and statesmen. Their homes reflect their personalities and will be of more than local interest. This book perpetuates the characteristics of these famous houses, many of which are fast disappearing under the advance of modern architecture. It provides a portrait of them as they once stood, as well as anecdotal accounts and brief genealogies of their inhabitants. The text is enhanced by twenty-three illustrations and a map of the historic homes. Homes include: Thomas Jefferson's birthplace, Shadwell, his home, Monticello, and two of his farms, Lego and Pantops; Edgehill, owned by the Randolphs; Belmont, owned by the Everetts; East Belmont, owned by Isaac Long, Esq.; Sunny Side, summer home of J. P. Pace, Esq.; Fruitland, residence of A. P. Fox, Esq.; Cismont, summer home of Colonel H. W. Fuller; Castalia, estate of Murray Boocock, Esq.; Music Hall, home of Captain James Terrell; Belvoir, home of the Nelsons; Kinloch, home of Dr. Tom Meriwether; Rougemont, home of the Dickinsons; Hopedale, home of the Boydens; Castle Hill, home of the Rivses; Keswick, home of the Pages; Edgeworth, home of the Gordons; Broad Oak, home of Edward C.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Historic Homes of the South-West Mountains, Virginia The celebrated section of the South-West Mountains, Virginia, stands as pre-eminently among her sister sections as does the Old Dominion in the galaxy of stars in the Union as the birthplace of Presidents, governors, and statesmen, as well as the seat of a refined and hospitable people. The list of those who have lived here is a long and honored one. Many names are of such national celebrity that it is felt that any account of those who bore them and of the homes which so reflected their personality will be of more than local interest. My object has been to do for these historic homes what Bishop Meade has already done for the churches of Virginia, - to perpetuate the characteristics of these famous houses along the South-West Mountains, many of which are fast disappearing under the advance of modern architecture, giving a faithful picture of each as they once stood, as well as an anecdotal account and brief genealogy of their inhabitants, thus embalming the traditions of these noble Virginia families.

Book excerpt: Home to Jamestown, the first permanent English settlement in the New World, Virginia is in many ways the birthplace of America and the home of U.S. history. It is also literally the birthplace of eight presidents and numerous Revolutionary and Civil War heroes. Virginia was among the wealthiest southern states in the antebellum period, resulting in a long tradition of stately homes on luxuriant plantations. In addition to their elegant architecture and classic southern styling, these homes feature some of the most extravagant and noteworthy gardens on the eastern seaboard. From the James River Plantations to the Shenandoah foothills, Virginia's Historic Homes and Gardens celebrates the legendary houses and landscapes of Old Dominion. Virginia natives, the authors travel throughout the state to highlight the best of the famous and lesser-known homes. Including such national landmarks as George Washington's Mount Vernon and Thomas Jefferson's Monticello, the book brilliantly illustrates the homes exteriors and interiors as well as their gardens and landscaping. Historical details accompany the exquisite color photographs, along with useful information on each site's location.
