The story of Virginia is shot through with romanticism and a vision of the good life that is especially attractive to a nostalgic twentieth century. The Virginia House profiles Tidewater Virginia homes constructed between 1640 and 1830 and reveals in the informal study that the “Virginia style” continues to capture the feeling of the era. Complete with intricate pictures, floor plans, and informative text, this book will enable the reader to buy or build his own Virginia dream house, or renovate his current home to project a genteel Virginian image.
