Historical Virginia Homes. . .

 

"This work includes practically all of the principal

Colonial homes of historic interest in the State of Virginia

now standing and many which have been destroyed, to-

gether with the churches most likely to engage attention.

 

"In 1888 the writer began to gather photographs of

historic buildings in Virginia for his private collection, and

later, upon the request of friends, decided to publish them.

The making of the collection as complete as possible and

the gathering of the historical data have involved years of

labor and much travelling in conveyances of many sorts

and by foot. It may be said that the work was done

at the psychological time, for much information gath-

ered in past years would now be impossible to secure and

much of that recently added will soon be as inaccessible.

The information has been made as full as the great number

of houses treated would allow.

 

"As alterations in buildings have been frequent, the

writer's aim in such cases has been to secure pictures of as

early a period as possible while they were in their original

condition, so as to show the character of houses and

churches our ancestors built. For instance, the picture

shown of St. John's Church, Hampton, was taken from one

published some fifty years ago rather than from one show-

ing it as it is to-day after the original has been altered.

The photographs of Montpelier, Eagle Point, Belleville,

and many other places, also show these edifices before the

existing alterations were made."
