Dave514 Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Cool thread I had missed. We have a FLW design near me that has been run down, bought, sold, redone. Super interesting. I've always been particular to Victorian but went a different route with a more classic farm house design 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Walt Longmire Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 Just now, Walt Longmire said: I lived next to this old Victorian in Vader, Wa. Built in the 1880's by a sawmill owner. Vader was the largest city between Portland and Olympia until most of it burned. There were only a few surviving buildings, this being one of them at the lower end of D St. next to Olequa Creek. The house was completely restored during the time I lived there. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnbt Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 (edited) Maymont Mansion. The centerpiece of a Richmond City park. "Within six months of Mrs. Dooley’s death in 1925, the mansion was opened to the public as a museum." https://maymont.org/explore/historic-estate/mansion/ "Among historic house museums, the Maymont Mansion is rare in that no intervening families or adaptive conversions separate us from the original owner’s 32-year occupancy." "In 1886, James and Sallie Dooley acquired farmland on the banks of the James River, where they planned to build a new home. Their architect, Edgerton Stewart Rogers (1860-1901), born and educated in Rome, combined the Romanesque Revival style with the picturesque Queen Anne for the Dooley residence. By 1893, the Dooleys were living in their new 12,000 square-foot, 33-room home, which they named “May Mont,” a name which combines Mrs. Dooley’s maiden name and the French word for hill." The house is on the right. Granite for some of the outbuildings was quarried on site. The estate is on a bluff above the James River. This view doesn't show the majority of the park, the formal gardens or the nature center/small zoo. edited to add a pic of the famous swan bed.

johnbt Posted November 23, 2020 Share Posted November 23, 2020 The Dooleys had a summer place built in 1912 on Afton Mounain where I-64 crosses going from Charlottesville to Waynesboro at the southern end of the Skyline Drive It's still there. "This 1912 Italianate marble villa sits high atop the Blue Ridge Mountains in Afton, VA. Major James Dooley, an executive with the Chesapeake and Ohio Railroad Company, completed construction of the $2 million Swannanoa in 1912. Dooley, who owned the Maymont estate in Richmond, built this 52-room marble palace as a token of love for his wife, Sally May. More than 300 artisans were hired to create the palace as a replica of the Villa de Medici in Rome. " There's a Tiffany window at the top of the staircase. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
