What an interesting guy...have been thinking I should do a blog post on him.<br /><br />KDM ~ yes! The gentleman and I had quite an "ah-ha" moment à la Attingham.<br /><br />AD ~ I am in complete agreement.<br /><br />BWS ~ I wish someone would give them a ton of money so that they could fully restore that garden. Can you imagine...a 17th-century American garden. wow.<br /><br />mom ~ stop the car! stop the car!<br /><br />Trish ~ loved seeing your post. It is wonderful to learn about all these great old places.<br /><br />Emile ~ America in 1665 must have been a remarkable place. Isolated and wild. I keep wondering what people must have thought when they saw this brick manse rising out of the Virginia countryside.<br /><br />Reggie ~ it is an effort to get there. But so worth it. Plus, you can pick up a Surry ham on your way home...<br /><br />Ms. Wis. ~ I don't think many people have heard about this house. It is so remote!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04348849115235899670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-541476556391638636.post-49436848002977836212010-04-27T09:42:04.531-04:002010-04-27T09:42:04.531-04:00I've never heard of this house, so thanks for ...I've never heard of this house, so thanks for the introduction.
