Description

From the Tidewater region of its Atlantic Shore to the Blue Ridge Mountains, Virginia has probably the most most architecturally wealthy, and most likely probably the most historically vital, homes in The usa. The treasures of American heritage showcased on this volume range in time from the seventeenth century to the twentieth, and include such peerless masterpieces as Colonial Williamsburg’s Governor’s Palace, George Washington’s Mt. Vernon, Thomas Jefferson’s Monticello, Robert E. Lee’s Arlington House, and Stratford Hall Plantation—all presented in new photography commissioned for this book, the first to feature in one place the beautiful houses of a few of this country’s most influential and renowned citizens. Each and every home shown is either linked to a famous American region or event, or is a National Historic Landmark, a Virginia State Historic Landmark, or listed at the National Register of Historic Places or on other landmark registers.
