With names like Belle Farm, Flowerdew Hundred, Merchant’s Hope, Riverview, Sawnn’s Point and Poplar Hall it’s easy to get swept up in the romance of Virginia’s old houses. Thanks to this book, published in 1957 we get to learn the unique biographies of over 100 of them all situated along the James River. Containing interesting stories about the inhabitants of each house, the history that unfolded in and around each property and the design details that made them unique architectural stunners, this book is a fascinating read for any old house lover. It also serves as an important record of some of our country’s oldest homes, ones that have withstood wars, natural events, multiple owners and threats of demolition due to urbanization and community development. Virginia is for lovers indeed... especially the old house kind;) . . . . . #oldhouselovers #virginia #historichouse #housestories #oldvirginia #oldhouses #architecturelovers #virginiahistory #thisoldhouse #historichomes #coffetablebook https://www.instagram.com/p/B7eyWpOASm1/?igshid=hkxmcwhau9af
